At CBC, we are always on the hunt for great people who are passionate about introducing new ideas to the banking industry–and helping banks and credit unions implement them. If that describes you, read below to see what opportunities are available with CBC.

Executive Assistant (Location: Portland, OR)
Consultants (Location: USA)

Executive Assistant

CBC is looking for a new part-time team member: an Executive Assistant to the Founder/CEO. As our new Executive Assistant, you will handle a wide range of tasks, many of which are marketing-oriented. This is a contract position (at least to begin), and you’ll be working from your own office, with occasional in-person meetings. With this position, you’ll find yourself directly supporting the CEO’s daily business-level and project-level work. This includes coordinating and assisting in, among other things:

  • various office administrative tasks
  • various aspects of marketing projects we do for our clients
  • marketing campaigns we do for ourselves
  • coordinating contributions from other team members
  • list and database management
  • event planning
  • online research
  • updates to websites in WordPress

How to Apply
Send your resume, in PDF format, to careers@creative-brand.com. Please use the subject line “Executive Assistant to Entrepreneur.” Directly in the body of your email, please include a brief cover letter, telling us what gets you excited about this position. No phone calls, please.

Consultants: Passionate Banking Thought Leaders

We are actively working to expand our network of consultants, experts and thought leaders in the financial services industry, for collaboration on consulting projects with banks and credit unions across North America.

Who Is A Good Fit for CBC?
Not everyone is a good fit for CBC, and that’s OK.  You might be a good fit for the CBC team if:

  • You are truly passionate about innovation in the financial services industry
  • You are considered an expert and thought leader in the banking industry. As such, you write a blog, publish articles, speak at conferences, etc.
  • Your expertise falls into the categories of:  Bank or Credit Union Management, Brand Strategy, Marketing Strategy, Word of Mouth, Internal Culture, Executive Coaching, Training
  • You embrace CBC’s core philosophical framework, but are also excited to contribute your own ideas that will expand and grow our collective expertise
  • You are constantly learning―reading, attending events, learning about new disciplines and media, and sharing your knowledge with collaborators

How Do The Collaborations Work?

First and foremost, we are looking for great people who fit with the CBC philosophical framework ; the logistical arrangements for working together are flexible.  Depending on workload and other factors, some consultants may be project-based 1099 contractors for CBC, while others may be ongoing employees with flexible schedules. Regardless, we work together seamlessly as one team.

While based in Portland, Oregon, CBC is mostly a physically decentralized team, with consultants across the country, working from their own locations. This allows us to recruit the very best thought leadership expert talent without being geographically constrained by regions.  (Our clients are located across the country as well, but consultants are not paired with clients based on geography, but rather based on areas of expertise based on client engagements.)  Our team members travel as needed to client engagements and company meetings, but the majority of the work is done remotely from your own location. At least once per year, all team members convene in-person for a company meeting.

Interested? Please Drop Us a Line
If you are interested in learning more about becoming a part of the CBC team―whether as an occassional contractor or an employee―let us know. Please begin by dropping our CEO Jeff Stephens a line via email to introduce yourself (jeff@creative-brand.com ).  In that first email, please provide a couple paragraphs that answer these two important questions:

  • What moves you about CBC’s philosophy and vision for the financial services sector?
  • Where can we sample some of your own thought leadership content?

Thank you for your interest in our team!
