The Narmi Standard reflects the traits and behaviors we see in people who thrive at Narmi - the teammates who push us forward, make the work better, and raise the bar for those around them. It’s a guide for candidates and employees alike, helping us hire, grow, and lead with clarity and consistency.
You go beyond the obvious. You don’t just wait around for someone to tell you to do something. You care deeply about outcomes and take initiative when the path isn’t clear. You hold yourself and others accountable with high standards and a high level of care.
You might say things like:
“What did we accomplish this week to fulfill our mission?”
“What more can we do?”
“How can we make this better?”
You put Narmi’s success above your own. Wins are measured by the company moving forward, not individual spotlights. You lead with curiosity, not defensiveness. You share credit easily, own mistakes openly, and create space for others to shine.
You might say things like:
“That was a team win”
“I missed that, thanks for flagging it.”
“You were right, and your approach worked better.”
Narmi exists to enable community financial institutions to win against Mega Banks and FinTechs. Our customers should be on the cutting edge of technology, and it’s our job to make that happen. No matter your role, you stay anchored to our mission and north star goals, driving impact that moves the business forward.
You might say things like:
“How does this help us win the right customers?”
“Is this aligned with what we promised our partners?”
“Are we building something truly innovative?”
You understand our vision and bring an execution-first mindset. Nothing great gets built without rolling up your sleeves, and you’re not afraid to do the work. You follow through, follow up, and step in when something doesn’t meet the bar. You do what you say you’ll do - even when no one is looking. You hold the bar high for yourself and others with care, not judgment.
You might say things like:
“I’ll take this and get you an update by tomorrow.”
“Let’s fix this now, not later.”
“If we say we’re world-class, let’s act like it.”
We’re not looking for perfect resumes or people who check every box. We’re looking for people who act in the ways outlined below - who care, stretch, and bring others along. This profile isn’t just for hiring, it’s how we grow the culture we want to keep.
