CONNECTICUT GREEN BANK
ASSOCIATE, RESIDENTIAL FINANCING PROGRAMS
SUMMARY :
The Connecticut Green Bank (hereafter "Green Bank") is seeking an Associate to support its single-family residential financing programs, with a focus on the Smart-E Loan.
We are a quasi-public authority and the nation's first state-level "Green Bank," leveraging public funds to increase and accelerate private investment in the green economy of Connecticut. Working at the Green Bank means being part of a dynamic team of talented people who are passionate about implementing the green bank model, stimulating the growth and development of clean energy and environmental infrastructure investment in Connecticut, and growing our economy, strengthening our communities, and protecting our environment.
The Smart-E Loan financing program was created in 2013 to help Connecticut homeowners access low rate, flexible term financing to make clean energy improvements. Since then, over 8,000 projects have been completed across Connecticut by hundreds of contractors and nearly $134 million in private capital has been mobilized by a network of local financial institutions.
The Associate will be a key member of the team operating the Smart-E Program comprised of internal Green Bank staff and external vendors and contractors. The Smart-E Loan's scope is now expanding beyond clean energy to include environmental infrastructure and resilience measures, and the Associate will help build/implement the process of reviewing and approving loans for the new measures and will be a project resource across the program for key initiatives that ensure a continued positive experience for homeowners, contractors, and lending partners.
