Improving processes. You’ll help identify areas where the team can improve to ensure we are an efficient, high-performing team and that we are using the right tools for automation of processes and for reporting.
Being the customer’s advocate on compliance. Regulations vary from country to country, and our customers turn to us to make sure that our solution will help them grow and be compliant with local regulations and codes. You will build on knowledge from our customers and markets to help guide our compliance team’s priorities and make sure that our customers’ needs are heard and understood.
Learn our product and industry. We have a robust onboarding program so that you understand our product, its functionality, our market, and how to help customers understand it. And you’ll bring your own knowledge and experience in the process.
Participate in and then lead on-boarding calls with new customers. You’ll jump right into our work by joining calls with new customers to learn about our standard customer on-boarding processes. After you become more familiar with how our products work, you’ll help us conduct remote training for new customers.

Requirements
Experience working with customers in account management, technical product training, or customer support. You are comfortable engaging with customers via email and over the phone and owning outcomes to solve their problems. You are passionate about building, testing, and validating systems to improve customer satisfaction.
Comfort with technology. While you don’t have to be an engineer to do well in this role, you should be comfortable with computers, science and engineering concepts. You are excited to learn more about the technical concepts behind SparkMeter’s product.
A background in energy or software are examples of experience that will help you grasp our product’s changing capabilities and limitations and ensure our clients can meet their objectives.
A connection to energy and energy access. Our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities, and your connection to our mission will inform your work and connect you to your mission-driven colleagues.
Uncommonly organized problem-solver. You’re not intimidated by a challenge! You’ll use your knack for gathering information and collaborating with colleagues to create solutions to our customers’ unique challenges.
Disciplined self-starter. You love devising new systems and getting all things in their right place. We’re a startup, which means we are building systems as we grow and require leadership from everyone in our company for this.
Empathy. Our customers and partners are based in over 20 countries all over the world and come from many different backgrounds. You should be comfortable and enjoy talking with people who come from cultures different from your own.
Strong communication skills.] In order to connect to customers, understand their needs, and create great documentation, you should have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
Experience using a ticketing system. We use Zendesk to track customer support requests. Ideally, you should have some experience with Zendesk or another ticketing system.
Industry experience. Whether you are interested in renewable energy, sustainable development, or energy access, having some exposure or interest in the field in which we work will help you better understand our customers, where they are coming from, and their needs.
