🏢 About Venture Solar

Venture Solar is a fast-growing solar company dedicated to making clean energy accessible and affordable for homeowners. What sets us apart is our focus on customer advocacy and seamless experience, not just sales. If you're passionate about sustainability and enjoy helping people navigate complex decisions, this is a great place to make a real impact.

About This Role

As a Customer Experience Specialist, you'll be the main point of contact for homeowners throughout their solar journey, from initial interest to installation and beyond. You'll translate technical solar concepts into simple benefits, proactively manage communications, and collaborate with field teams to ensure every customer feels supported and delighted. This role is critical to Venture Solar's reputation and customer retention.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day starts by reviewing your queue of homeowner accounts, checking for updates from field teams, and sending proactive status emails. You'll spend a few hours on the phone answering questions about solar panels, financing, or installation timelines, then shift to messaging to resolve a few roadblocks with operations. By afternoon, you're updating CRM records and preparing a handoff for the next day's installation, ensuring every customer feels informed and cared for.
