Company Description
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 has 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.
As a Priority Support Specialist, you will be responsible for handling complex customer cases, priority escalations, and proactive outreach within our solar customer service operations. This role requires in-depth knowledge of solar energy systems, and a commitment to delivering high-quality customer experiences.
You will serve as a critical escalation point for frontline agents, manage high-priority cases for internal teams, and act as a business continuity backup in the event of service disruptions. Additionally, you will conduct proactive outreach to passive and negative NPS customers to address concerns before they escalate. Furthermore, you will reach out to customers who provided positive survey scores to request lead referrals for new customers.
We are looking for individuals with a solution-based mindset—someone who doesn’t just ask “What do I do?” but comes prepared with proposed solutions and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in improving efficiency, response times, and overall customer satisfaction in our newly structured Priority Support Specialist team.
