Careers at First Business Bank

Our clients, our employees, our families, our communities. This driving philosophy was a guidepost from the founding of First Business Bank in 1990, and our devotion to it is unwavering today. We’re delighted you’re considering joining us.

We’re passionate about helping businesses and people. First Business Financial Services, Inc., is the proud holding company of First Business Bank and First Business Specialty Finance, LLC. We specialize in providing focused financial solutions for businesses and executives.

As a part of First Business Bank, you’ll find a unique culture based on our “Statement of Beliefs” — 28 statements created when the company was founded capturing expectations of how we behave, treat each other, and treat our clients. We expanded these core values and created a Cultural Competency Framework, which defines observable skills and behaviors required to be successful. Our competencies are important to us because we know that our talent fuels company growth and success. We use these core values not only to communicate our culture, but also to help guide employee career growth and development.

At First Business Bank, we have a collective responsibility to share in the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; to ensure all voices are heard; to create an environment where everyone has a sense of belonging; and where we can show up every day as our true and authentic selves.

Using the platinum rule to guide us, we strive to treat others the way they want to be treated. Our core cultural competencies include Values Differences: recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization. With each new hire, we have the opportunity to be better, stronger, and more inclusive. We believe increased diversity impacts our success, and the success of our employees, clients, and communities. First Business Bank is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees.

Throughout our company, we value fresh perspectives and positive energy, which is why we offer internships and entry-level careers, attend career fairs on several area campuses, and participate in student organizations. Many of our interns continue on to become employees. There’s no limit to what you can achieve at First Business Bank.

Giving back is important at First Business Bank — one facet of our commitment to creating robust communities. Our employees dedicate their time and resources to service organizations and non-profit boards across all of our markets, directly impacting their communities. As an organization, we wholeheartedly support making contributions to local charitable organizations in our communities. Each location has a charitable foundation with a corporate contributions committee that evaluates all requests for contributions, and ensures that each need is given thoughtful consideration.

Impactful employees are engaged, high-achieving professionals, which benefits us, our clients, and you.
