About ORKA
ORKA Finance is transforming financing to advance the adoption of commercial solar by small to medium sized businesses.

Now more than ever the world needs more access to solar, with affordable solutions that help businesses save money. And contractors need better financing that helps them help small businesses. This is where ORKA comes in - we empower contractors and small businesses with commercially friendly, solar-specific loans delivered in a simple and elegant manner.

There are other options out there for small businesses - antiquated bank programs that are slow and painful. The SMB space has been struggling with these offerings for years. Not anymore. We’re changing that.

ORKA is a clean energy financial technology company. (orkafinance.com)

Current options in the market are slow, bureaucratic, and not focused enough on the customer. We’re leveraging technology to unblock the deployment of better energy, deliver a stronger value proposition and (dare we say) a delightful client experience. Say that again: stale, antiquated. Replace it with fast refreshing delightful. Ahh, that’s better.

If you’re committed to a smart, sustainable economy and passionate about building an intuitive, transformative experience, come check us out. We’re venture-backed, well-capitalized, and the founding team brings combined three decades of related experience.

‍Additional information: ORKA and its mission will be covered in detail with qualified candidates. We value diversity and always treat all employees and job applicants based on merit, qualifications, competence, and talent.
