The ideal candidate will have experience in customer escalations, dispute resolution, or complaints management within financial services or lending environments. This role works closely with Compliance, Legal, Operations, Sales, and Risk teams and requires strong independent judgment and ownership. This position operates in a fast-evolving environment where processes are actively being built and refined.

• Conduct thorough investigations of escalated complaints, including detailed account research across CRM systems, internal tools, and third-party platforms. 

• Apply company policies, regulatory guidance, and risk considerations to determine appropriate resolutions. 

• Partner cross-functionally with Compliance, Legal, Operations, Sales, Installer Risk, and Technical teams to drive timely and appropriate outcomes. 

• Prepare clear, well-documented written summaries suitable for leadership review and regulatory inquiries. 

• Maintain accurate, audit-ready case documentation within Salesforce or other CRM/case management systems. 

• Identify complaint trends, recurring root causes, and control gaps; recommend process improvements to reduce future escalations. 

• Assist in developing escalation workflows, training materials, and documentation in an environment where processes are still being established. 

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience with a minimum of 5+ years of professional experience, including 3- 4+ years in customer service, dispute resolution, complaints management, investigations, or risk-related roles within financial services or lending. 

• Strong knowledge of consumer lending practices and familiarity with regulatory and compliance standards. 

• Demonstrated ability to independently manage complex cases from intake through resolution with minimal supervision. 

• Strong analytical, investigative, and decision-making skills, including the ability to work with incomplete or evolving information. 

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including experience drafting formal responses. 

• Proficiency with case management systems (Salesforce highly preferred), CRM platforms, telephony systems, Microsoft Office Suite, and digital tools such as Microsoft Forms. 

• Experience conducting research using internal systems and external tools (e.g., LexisNexis or similar background research platforms) preferred. 

• Ability to remain calm and effective in emotionally charged or high-risk customer situations. 

• Solar industry or renewable energy experience. 

• Experience responding to regulatory body inquiries or formal complaints. 

• Bilingual English/Spanish. 

• Experience building or refining escalation processes in a developing program environment.
