About Us

Rubicon Direct is a fast-growing sales organization expanding its Community Solar division into the Chicagoland market. We're building a team of experienced, driven sales professionals to lead the charge in one of the fastest-growing energy programs in Illinois.

About the Role

We're looking for a Community Solar Sales Representative to join our Chicago-area team. This is a hybrid field sales role combining door-to-door canvassing with pop-up tent events, where you'll be educating homeowners on community solar programs and enrolling qualified customers to save on their energy bills — no panels, no installation, no upfront cost to the homeowner.

This is a full-time opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, self-motivated sales environment and wants to build serious income with a growing company.

What You'll Do

• Work a hybrid schedule combining door-to-door canvassing and staffed pop-up tent locations in high-traffic areas
• Educate homeowners on the benefits of community solar and how it works
• Engage walk-up prospects at tent events and convert conversations into enrollments
• Manage your pipeline from first contact to enrollment using our CRM system
• Meet and exceed weekly/monthly enrollment targets
• Represent Rubicon Direct professionally and build trust in every neighborhood and location you work
• Work closely with your team lead/manager to refine pitch, close rate, and territory strategy

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 1 year of sales experience (required)
• Door-to-door sales experience (required)
• Based in or able to reliably commute to the Chicago/Lincolnwood, IL area
• Available to work 5–6 days per week, full-time
• Comfortable working both door-to-door and tent/event-based setups
• Self-motivated, coachable, and comfortable with a commission-driven pay structure
• Strong communication and people skills — you can hold a conversation and handle objections confidently
• Reliable transportation
• A competitive, growth-oriented mindset

What We Offer

• $7,485 is the average monthly earnings for starting reps in their first year
• Uncapped commission structure with some of the strongest rates in the industry
• Fast-track leadership and override opportunities as you grow
• Hands-on training and daily support from experienced leadership
• A proven system, CRM, and lead infrastructure — you're not building this from scratch
• A team-first culture built around growth, accountability, and winning together
