About Venture Solar

Venture Solar is on a mission to give homeowners the most enjoyable experience possible when switching to clean energy. We offer solar, EV chargers, smart panels, and battery storage-designed, sold, and supported by people who care about getting it right. We know that there aren't many candidates out there with 5+ years of solar industry experience and we love to train the right candidates to grow with us.

Position Overview

We're looking for a Sales Leadership Role who isn't afraid to get in the trenches-jumping on calls, designing systems, closing deals, and guiding the team through real-world examples. This role is all about leading by doing: processing change orders, selling remotely, scheduling site assessments, and keeping communication with homeowners clear and consistent.

The best part is - no solar experience is required. We're looking for candidates with great attitudes and student mentalities who are willing to work hard. If you enjoy a fast paced environment, genuinely making an impact on your customers lives, and being incentivized for excellent performance then this could be a great home for you.

You'll be the point person for product and technical questions, system design in Aurora, and explaining financing options in a way that builds trust and confidence.
