Job Description :

Position Overview :

We are seeking a proactive individual to join our team at ZEO Energy as an  Account Specialist . You'll be the expert problem-solver who steps in when deals need that little bit of extra attention that standard review processes can't resolve. You'll work at the intersection of Sales and Operations, diving deep into complex deal issues, partnering closely with Sales Representatives to find solutions, and serving as a subject matter expert for financing, compliance, and documentation challenges. This role requires an individual who thrives on variety, can navigate ambiguity, and possesses the relationship-building skills to influence outcomes across multiple departments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take ownership of escalated deals that Deal Review Agents cannot pass due to documentation issues, financing complications, property constraints, or compliance concerns
• Conduct in-depth analysis of problematic deals to diagnose root causes and identify viable paths forward
• Work directly with Sales Representatives to gather missing information, correct documentation errors, and restructure deals when necessary
• Partner with customers via phone and email to explain requirements, request additional documentation, and guide them through complex situations (credit issues, title problems, HOA restrictions, etc.)
• Collaborate with funding teams to resolve credit issues.
• Establish clear timelines and follow-up cadences to prevent deals from stalling
• Serve as primary day-to-day liaison between Deal Review team and Sales organization, building strong partnerships with Sales Managers and Representatives
• Provide coaching and guidance to Sales Reps on documentation requirements, financing eligibility criteria, and common deal pitfalls
• Identify recurring sales errors or knowledge gaps and collaborate with Sales Leadership and Deal Review Manager to develop targeted training materials
• Participate in sales meetings to share feedback on deal quality trends, celebrate wins, and provide coaching on improvement opportunities
• Track and categorize escalated deal issues to identify patterns and systemic problems

Qualifications:

• 2-4 years of experience in operations, customer service, sales support, or related roles within solar, home improvement or contract-based industries
• Experience training, coaching, or mentoring others—comfortable presenting to groups and delivering constructive feedback
• Deep understanding of residential solar sales processes, financing options (loans, leases, PPAs), and common deal structures
• Strong customer service orientation with excellent relationship-building skills
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with ability to explain complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences
• Self-directed and resourceful, able to work independently with minimal supervision while knowing when to escalate
• Experience navigating ambiguous situations and making sound judgments with incomplete information
• Proficient with CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar) and comfortable learning new systems quickly
• Strong attention to detail while also maintaining focus on big-picture outcomes

Why Work at Zeo Energy?

• Be part of an innovative team dedicated to renewable energy and sustainability
• Opportunities for professional growth and advancement in a growing industry
• Competitive pay, 401(k), benefits, and a supportive work environment
