Palmetto is constantly hiring! This posting is for future Senior Customer Success Manager opportunities as they come available. By applying, you will be submitting your resume into our pool of candidates for future opportunities.

Company Overview
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, 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.

Summary of Role
This role is responsible for executing the strategic vision and maximizing the lifetime value of our enterprise and utility partners. Our partnerships are varied and expanding, from lead referral and employee benefit programs to turnkey solar enablement and decarbonization. Reporting to the VP of Customer Success, you will be “the face of the business” and the main POC to these B2B, B2B2C, and utility clients across North America.

You will act as the quarterback for all post-sale activities. You are a true “team player” orchestrating cohesive action plans across multiple internal groups such as technical account management, product/engineering, corporate sales, CX, and operations. Maniacally focused on metrics, you continuously set a high standard of success for yourself and your customers. You exude a strong executive presence, can speak to Palmetto’s value proposition with ease, and are comfortable communicating and building relationships with C-level clients. You are a creative, out-of-the-box thinker, and your voice will be instrumental in shaping the programmatic evolution of the Customer Success team. Finally, you are a mission-driven individual, passionate about creating a better world for future generations, and will stop at nothing to see that vision realized.
