Careers at Needham Bank

When do the words “banking” and “excitement” go together? When the Bank is Needham Bank.  We’ve been around for a long time (1892), but don’t let our age fool you. We’re very young and forward-thinking in the way we treat our customers and our employees. However, we’re also old enough to know when it makes sense to expand, and that’s exactly what we’re doing. As we grow, we are looking for some top-notch, energetic people to grow with us. If you have been thinking about a career in banking, we offer a work environment in a dynamic, well-capitalized, community-minded bank. We make a difference in every community we serve, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. From spearheading a Town Hall renovation, to making it possible for youth to play sports on a town field, to helping make senior citizens safer in their residences, Needham Bank “walks the walk” when it comes to community involvement. Community and customers come first with us. If you feel the same way and want to make a real difference, please check out the job postings on this site. Here’s to the future – yours and ours.
