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 Operations Lead 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.
