Recognized by Forbes as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, Palmetto believes that choosing to source clean energy from renewable resources like solar power should be a right, not a privilege. As such, we connect homeowners with renewable energy options such as solar power and energy storage systems. Through our marketplace business model, we empower solar sales professionals and solar installation companies with access to our proprietary design platform, financing, customer management system, logistics, and project management. Our #1 focus is a phenomenal experience for our customers and partners, evidenced in our industry-leading Net Promoter Score.
Our employees are our most valuable resource. Palmetto is a VC-backed high-growth company with a promote-from-within culture for talent development. We offer excellent benefits such as unlimited vacation/PTO, medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid parental leave, and retirement plans.
We are a remote-first company and are proud to have great people working for us all over the United States.
Palmetto has experienced an exciting period of growth as a result of increased efficiency and productivity within the company. To continue this trajectory, we’re seeking a growth-oriented and highly organized Chief of Staff to partner closely with our CEO and Executive Team to coordinate strong alignment and accountability across the Executive Team and priority initiatives. From day one, you will be able to make an immediate impact on the execution of our short and long-term roadmaps in terms of streamlining, productivity, strategic initiatives, and communication between departments. You will be an extension of our Executive Team and will ensure roadmaps are executed, constantly assessing risks and opportunities and implementing solutions.
