🏢 About King Energy

King Energy is a climate tech company uniquely focused on providing solar solutions specifically for multi-tenant properties like apartment buildings and commercial complexes, addressing a critical gap in renewable energy adoption. Working here means directly contributing to scalable climate solutions while navigating the complex intersection of property management, tenant billing, and clean energy finance. Their mission-driven approach combines environmental impact with innovative financial operations in the growing proptech sector.

About This Role

This Financial Operations Manager role is the business owner of the entire tenant billing and collections cycle for King Energy's solar programs, requiring you to optimize statements, negotiate payment plans, and systemize processes to minimize overdue receivables. You'll directly impact both customer experience and company cash flow by bridging finance, technology, legal, and tenant teams. The role is particularly impactful because you'll be building scalable systems for a climate solution that depends on reliable revenue collection from multiple stakeholders.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing aging reports to identify collection trends, collaborating with the technology team to automate billing processes, reviewing and optimizing tenant billing statements for clarity, and negotiating payment plans with customers who have fallen behind. You'll spend significant time bridging finance requirements with customer experience considerations while building scalable systems for their growing solar programs across multiple properties.
