🏢 About Solstice Power Technologies

Solstice Power Technologies is unique in its mission to democratize solar energy access through community-shared solutions, making renewable power available to those who can't install panels themselves. As a mission-driven scale-up, they combine innovative technology with social impact, offering the chance to contribute to environmental sustainability while working in a dynamic remote environment.

About This Role

As a Quality Control Specialist, you'll ensure accurate customer data in Salesforce, directly supporting Solstice's customer onboarding process for shared solar programs. Your work maintains data integrity that enables smooth operations and helps communities access clean energy solutions, making this a critical behind-the-scenes role in their mission-driven work.

You'll collaborate remotely with the onboarding team to address data discrepancies while independently managing your quality control queue, all contributing to Solstice's mission of expanding solar access.
