One of First Independent’s core values is to provide a “fun and challenging workplace that fully supports the professional growth of every employee.” It’s a value we believe in and can fulfill as a locally-owned community financial institution because all the decisions are made right here.

Our family of employees is also committed to their community - from generous charitable giving in our annual community giving campaign to the thousands of volunteer hours they donate in all the communities we serve. Our employees serve on the boards and committees of more than a hundred local non-profits, as well as participating in walks, runs, special events, food and toy drives and much more.

We provide a full range of financial services to people in Southwest Washington, Bellevue and the Vancouver-Portland metro area. For nearly 100 years, we have been providing community members with the highest levels of products and services, convenience, client service and innovation.

We have 24 branch offices, 27 ATMs, and mortgage, commercial lending and wealth management group offices from Beaverton to Bellevue. Today, we’re nearly 500 employees strong. Professionals working on teams that are passionate about what they do – providing the highest quality experiences to First Independent clients every day.

Who is the First Independent Employee?

We have made a commitment to our clients, a set of promises that we will be ready when they are - to help them build and manage their wealth so they can achieve their dreams. As a result of those promises, we are looking for very special people to join our team.

We want people who are problem solvers. People who say yes and find a way. People who see the glass half-full, not half empty. Self-starters who start the day with a smile and a positive attitude. And end it the same way. People who care about the communities where they live and work. Professionals who are committed to providing extraordinary client service and are looking at First Independent employment as a great career opportunity.

The employees and teams of First Independent are the heart and soul of our bank and our brand. We understand their value and are committed to paying competitive wages, providing flexible benefits and yes, create a fun and challenging place to work and grow.
