Marketing Director
Bank of the Pacific has a unique opening for an individual to oversee our marketing department and guide strategic marketing initiatives. Over four decades ago a small group of local businessmen in Long Beach, Washington came together to create a bank that would focus on the community. In 1971, the Bank of the Pacific was formed and the Bank was given a charter in 1972. Eight years later, The Bank of Grays Harbor in Aberdeen, Washington was created by a group of local business people who shared many of the same values and vision as the earlier group. Their goal was to provide great personal service, make decisions locally, and be active and supportive in their communities. Year after year the number of local businesses and families they served grew because the Bank provided them with knowledgeable financial solutions. In late 1999 a merger of equals was formed between the two banks. In 2004 Bank Northwest, based in Bellingham, Washington, became part of the Bank of the Pacific family. Today, there are sixteen branch locations in Western Washington and Northern Oregon. The words “neighbor" and "hometown” are not just words to everyone at the Bank, they are the cornerstones of a committed and proud tradition. The Bank has genuine care and concern for our employees as they are worth much more than the hours they work. We have financial expertise and concern for our communities to make a real impact in the lives of the families and businesses we serve. If you share our vision of service and community, we extend an invitation to you to join our team.
