Description POSITION DESCRIPTION: Qcells Service Solutions(‘QSS’) is a residential solar asset operation and maintenance service company powered by Qcells. QSS set up a design standard and installation guide for EnFin TPO and provide a specialized Quality assurance review service. QSS monitors all assets proactively to resolve any issue, so that maximizes homeowner experience and capital investor’s value.

The QSS Director of Product and Platform develops and leads the digital systems, tools, and operational processes that ensure consistent quality, reliability, and efficiency across the company’s residential solar TPO asset portfolio. This role bridges technology and operations — integrating data platforms, field workflows, and automation to enhance the customer experience, maximize asset up time, and ensure long-term performance of residential solar and storage systems owned under TPO structures.

The ideal candidate combines expertise in product strategy, operational technology, and asset lifecycle management, with deep understanding of residential solar operations, installer ecosystems, and post-installation service models.

The Director oversees Product and Platform teams, manages the strategic roadmap for all QA/QC and O&M digital platforms supporting residential solar TPO assets. This role focuses on automation and standardization to support rapid volume growth and consistent quality across installers and markets.

The Director also collaborates with internal subject matter experts to identify requirements and propose new products and platforms to leadership. This role should manage the project timeline and deliver clear benefits to business owners.

Third-Party Ownership (TPO) continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments in the solar industry, fueled by rising interest rates and the Inflation Reduction Act.
