Chesapeake Bank-

Ready to jump-start your career in a financial institution where "fun" is more than just a buzzword (spoiler alert: it is a corporate value)? Say hello to Chesapeake Bank. We're not your typical bank. We're a community. And we've got the accolades to prove it—named a Top 200 community bank (voted consecutively since 2017) and one of the Best Banks to Work For (voted consecutively since 2013) by American Banker.

But we're about more than just numbers and awards. We're about people. And we show it by offering competitive benefit plans and putting job satisfaction at the top of our to-do list. Plus, we're big on giving back to our local areas, through both service hours and monetary contributions.

Ready to join The Chesapeake Way? We're looking for a Marketing Specialist to join our ranks. You'll help us whip up marketing campaigns that strike a chord with our local audience, promote our financial products and services, and underscore our community commitment. In other words, you'll help us do what we do best: show off that we are people people, not a bank bank.
