Volunteering with Bank.Green

Although we are beginning to fundraise, we are still currently led by volunteers! If you would you like to extend your climate impact beyond talking to your bank or switching to a greener alternative, we would love for you to join our team! Below we describe various roles that you may be able to help us with, depending on your background and availability.

If any of them interest you, do reach out to hello@bank.green, attaching a copy of your C.V. and letting us know about your availability! We are still a small team and receive a lot of enquiries, but we will do our best to get back to you, even if we feel it may not be the best fit.

UX / Graphic Designer

Bank.Green is always looking for better ways to communicate its vision. We are seeking a graphic designer to help design white papers, social media graphics etc, who ideally also has UX experience to prepare user experience flows and mockups for our website. A volunteer for this role does not need to commit many hours per week (2-5) but does need to be available to respond to questions quickly on Slack.

Excel Developer / Consultant:

Bank.Green is developing a methodology and related excel-based questionnaire scoring banks on their environmental performance. We would like your expertise in designing, developing, and specifying parts of our excel quesetionnaire, including macros and API's that the engineering team will need to build. Bank.Green is a technical organization but does not currently have expertise in Excel so your contribution can be extremely helpful. Experience with the financial sector and/or refinitiv business classification can be helpful but are not required. This is a 1-3 hour per week initial commitment with occasional weeks of 5-15 hour commitments depending on your schedule.

Software Engineer (frontend):

Our team maintains a linear.app issue board and has weekly SCRUM ceremonies including sprint reviews, sprint planning, and a monthly retro. We're looking for friendly developers (5-10 hr/week) to help with our frontend website (Vue.js+Nuxt). (Our backend system runs on Python+Django+SQLite and our infrastructure runs on Digital Ocean + Cloudflare but don't need help with those as badly right now.) Have a look at our roadmap and culture presentation and public repos and email if you'd like to get involved. This is a 5-15 hour per week commitment.

Communications Specialist

Much of our work involves communicating with banks, such as identifying good candidates to join our Fossil Free Alliance, then reaching out and onboarding those who apply successfully . For this role, we are ideally looking for someone who can commit 5 hours per week or more.

Content Writer

We are expanding on our vision this year to become the "go-to" online resource green personal finance. As such, we're intending to put out a lot more articles around all aspects of this topic, empowering our visitors to make more climate-friendly choices with their money! If you'd like to help with this effort and can commit 3 or more hours per week, please reach out.

Product Owner (frontend & backend):

Bank.Green would appreciate a product owner's help in collecting stakeholder needs, productizing our features, creating a roadmap, and prioritizing development tickets. There is an existing groomed and categorized backlog and roadmap prepared, so you won't be starting from scratch. This is a 2-5 hour per week commitment.
