Regional bank modernizing legacy systems across five-state footprint
First Financial Bank operates a traditional regional banking infrastructure built on AS/400 and Microsoft Office stack, now actively adopting GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT while pushing digital modernization and enterprise technology strategy initiatives. The hiring surge (39 roles in 30 days, accelerating) is weighted heavily toward junior finance and operations staff, reflecting both branch expansion and back-office scaling rather than digital-native engineering talent—a pattern typical of legacy financial institutions mid-transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Information Officer, Chief Financial Officer
