at Solstice Power Technologies

🏢 About Solstice Power Technologies

Solstice Power Technologies stands out by democratizing access to solar energy through community-shared solutions, making renewable power affordable for households that can't install rooftop panels. Their mission-driven focus on empowering underserved communities creates meaningful social impact alongside environmental benefits. Working here offers the chance to contribute to equitable clean energy access while being part of a remote-first, mission-oriented team.

About This Role

As a Bilingual Customer Success Associate, you'll be the frontline voice helping Spanish-speaking customers navigate solar subscription enrollment, troubleshoot platform issues, and resolve concerns across multiple channels. This role directly impacts community adoption of shared solar by ensuring smooth customer journeys from initial inquiry through ongoing support. Your work enables families to access clean energy while supporting Solstice's mission of energy equity.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by reviewing pending Spanish-language tickets in Salesforce, then handling inbound call overflow from customers needing help with enrollment forms or platform access. You'll spend significant time guiding new subscribers through account activation while documenting each interaction meticulously. Between calls, you'll respond to email inquiries and chat messages, troubleshooting technical issues and ensuring accurate record-keeping throughout.

🎯 Who Solstice Power Technologies Is Looking For

  • Native or professional Spanish fluency with experience serving Spanish-speaking customers in a support capacity
  • 2+ years specifically handling inbound call queues and ticketing systems in a fast-paced environment (not just general customer service)
  • Proven technical aptitude with Salesforce CRM and solar/energy platform troubleshooting experience
  • Pacific Time zone resident or willing to work 9am-6pm PT with meticulous process documentation skills

📝 Tips for Applying to Solstice Power Technologies

1

Quantify your Spanish-language support experience (e.g., 'handled 40+ Spanish calls weekly' or 'reduced Spanish ticket resolution time by 25%')

2

Highlight any solar/energy industry experience prominently - even if tangential, this is a niche advantage

3

Demonstrate Pacific Time zone availability explicitly in your application (mention current location or willingness)

4

Showcase specific Salesforce and CRM platform expertise beyond basic familiarity

5

Include examples of process documentation improvements from previous roles

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for renewable energy equity and community empowerment (align with Solstice's mission)", 'Specific examples of resolving complex bilingual customer issues in previous roles', 'Experience with enrollment/onboarding processes in regulated industries (energy, utilities, finance)', "How you've improved ticket resolution metrics or customer satisfaction scores"]
