OUR PURPOSE
SunCommon believes business should create positive change and help solve the world's biggest problems. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to solar power in our communities because ensuring a habitable planet is the most important work of our lifetimes.
ABOUT THE BUSINESS
SunCommon is a market leading renewable energy company operating in Vermont and New York's Hudson Valley and Capital District. We use an innovative approach to marketing, via high-touch, personal interactions with home and business owners who want clean electricity and more energy security. We've done all the legwork to put together a total package that's easy for the customer. We picked the best equipment manufacturers, arranged attractive financing that saves our customers real money and hired up the finest installers. There's over 8,000 happy SunCommon residential and commercial customers so far - and lots more to come. Organized as a Benefit Corporation and certified as a BCorp, we're committed to the triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit. Our goal is to become the largest publicly traded, BCorp in the country producing renewable energy.
ABOUT THIS POSITION
Community Organizers are responsible for our community outreach and education with the goal of raising awareness and inviting community members to join the clean energy revolution through a mix of events, canvassing, and digital outreach.
Field organizing work involves anything and everything-including knocking on doors, showing up at farmers' markets and festivals, hosting a community discussion, partnering with a local business, and otherwise engaging communities wherever they are...including online!
All in all, SunCommon's team of Organizers is responsible for generating the homeowner interest that keeps the rest of the SunCommon team busy assessing homes, designing systems, and selling solar and other renewable energy solutions.
Organizers will also coordinate calendars of events and other opportunities for our sales team, Solar Home Advisors. This role will also help qualify leads through desktop evaluation and introductory follow up calls to interested homeowners and businesses.
The success of this Organizer's work will be measured by their ability to drive leads that convert to visits, their ability to learn how to qualify high-propensity neighborhoods and quality leads, and their ability to create engaging educational messaging to homeowners and event attendees.
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS
- Drive leads through a mix of community outreach activities, primarily focused on events, canvassing, and other opportunities to educate potential solar customers (including digital).
- Speak with poise and presence in front of an audience.
- Effective time management and responsibility prioritization since much of the work is done independently, in the community.
- Coordinate with Solar Home Advisors and take a team-based approach to event calendars and lead generation.
- Highly adaptable - able to troubleshoot strategically and make things happen.
- Develop and implement new strategies to engage community members and manage event recruitment in collaboration with the sales team.
- Use digital tools to assess and qualify potential leads and schedule visits for the sales team with potential customers.

We do it by celebrating creativity, cross-functional collaboration, high energy, hard work, good play, deep networking and with the acknowledgement that we'll each make mistakes and learn from them. We know success. We know fun. Come do both with us.
As a certified BCorps, we take seriously our responsibility to succeed and to honor our triple bottom line commitments to People (our employees and their families, our Customers and residents of the communities where we do business), Planet (our beloved environment and the broader globe, given climate change) and Profit (providing capital to grow, revenue to share among our employees, and a reasonable return to our investors).
