About the Role
We're hiring a sharp, resourceful E-commerce Sales Associate to power SunFi's direct-to-customer sales engine. This is a hybrid role at the intersection of sales, operations, and data, not a script-based call center position. You'll manage the frontlines of our inbound funnel: qualifying leads, holding intelligent solar conversations, tracking data across CRM tools, and ensuring no opportunity slips through the cracks. You'll work closely with the Platform Strategy & Ops Manager to translate digital interest into revenue, and design scalable, repeatable sales processes in the process.
This role is critical to SunFi's e-commerce strategy. Speed, accuracy, and ownership matter.
Responsibilities:
Qualify inbound leads from forms, WhatsApp, social, and phone. Match customers with the right product tiers based on power needs, budgets, and constraints.
Guide customers through system selection, payment plan discussion, and objection handling, over phone and chat.
Maintain clean, up-to-date lead records across platforms (PressOne, Zoho Desk, SalesIQ, Monday.com).
Coordinate with concierge, ops, and fulfillment teams to ensure customers move smoothly from interest to onboarding to installation.
Escalate blockers, surface lead trends, and suggest funnel optimizations.
Help test scripts, outreach variations, and lead-handling frameworks.
Capture frequent questions, objections, and behavior patterns that can inform marketing and product decisions.

You're fast, structured, and data-conscious. You can follow a CRM flow without missing a step.
You understand (or can quickly learn) the basics of solar solutions and payment plans.
You work well with little supervision and treat leads like high-value assets.

Experience in energy, fintech, or e-commerce is a plus (but not required).
