at GoodLeap

๐Ÿข About GoodLeap

GoodLeap is a fintech leader that has revolutionized sustainable home improvement by providing over $27 billion in financing since 2018. Their AI-driven platform makes eco-friendly upgrades like solar panels, energy-efficient HVAC, and smart home systems accessible to homeowners. Working here means joining a mission-driven company at the intersection of technology, finance, and environmental impact.

About This Role

As a Client Support Manager for Home Improvement at GoodLeap, you'll be the critical link between homeowners, installation partners, and internal teams to ensure seamless project delivery. You'll manage escalations, conduct fraud investigations using data analytics, and directly improve customer satisfaction in the sustainable home upgrade space. This role directly impacts GoodLeap's reputation as they scale their financing platform nationwide.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by reviewing your project pipeline dashboard, prioritizing escalated cases from homeowners about installation delays or quality issues. You might join a video call with a roofing partner to resolve a billing dispute, then analyze recent customer feedback data to spot trends in HVAC installation complaints. In the afternoon, you could collaborate with the fraud team on an investigation before updating project statuses and preparing for monthly partner due diligence reviews.

๐ŸŽฏ Who GoodLeap Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years in client-facing roles with home improvement, construction, or renewable energy companies, specifically handling contractor/vendor management
  • Demonstrates experience using CRM tools (like Salesforce) to track project pipelines and conduct due diligence checks on partners
  • Can analyze data sets to identify trends in customer complaints or potential fraud patterns in home improvement projects
  • Possesses technical knowledge of energy-efficient home systems (HVAC, heat pumps, roofing) to communicate effectively with installers and customers
