Solar Canvassing Manager
Build your own team. Lead the production. Choose whether you want to close.
We are expanding our residential solar field operation throughout New York City, Long Island, and Hudson Valley/Upstate markets through Newburgh, NY.
We are looking for experienced canvassing managers and field leaders who know how to recruit, train, motivate, and retain a productive door-to-door team.
Closing is optional. You can remain focused on managing and developing your team, or receive full training to close appointments generated by you and your representatives.
Compensation
- Realistic annual commission range of $150,000–$500,000
- 1099 independent-contractor opportunity
- 100% commission-based
- No base salary, hourly wage, or guaranteed income
- Uncapped earning opportunity
- Earn from personal production and eligible team production
- Ability to earn additional compensation by closing appointments generated by you or your representatives
- Self-generated and team-generated sales can provide up to 10× the per-deal compensation available in traditional company-provided-lead roles, depending on the applicable compensation tier
- Eligible leadership, recruiting, and team-production compensation under the applicable written compensation plan
- Sign-on bonus opportunity available; eligibility and complete terms will be reviewed during the interview
The stated range reflects differences in team size, completed installations, personal production, team production, and whether the manager chooses to close sales.
How the Role Works
- Build your own team: Recruit and develop canvassers who generate qualified homeowner appointments.
- Closing is optional: Qualified closers can run your team’s appointments if you prefer to focus on leadership.
- Learn to close: Complete sales and closing training is provided for managers who want to close their own appointments or appointments generated by their representatives.
- Personal canvassing is optional: Managers with an established, producing team are not required to personally knock doors.
- Increase your upside: Managers may canvass, set appointments, and close sales themselves whenever they want to increase personal production.
What You’ll Do
- Recruit, train, coach, and retain a productive canvassing team
- Create a positive, competitive, and accountable field culture
- Conduct field training, coaching, and ride-alongs
- Train representatives to identify properly qualified homeowners—not simply generate raw leads
- Manage appointment quality, confirmations, and feedback between setters and closers
- Coordinate appointments with qualified closers or run the appointments yourself
- Plan and allocate territories across available New York markets
- Track results from appointments and held sits through sales and completed installations
- Coach representatives using individual performance results
- Develop future team leaders and top producers
- Represent the organization honestly, professionally, and in accordance with all sales and compliance standards
Performance Rewards
- Company-paid incentive trips to destinations around the world
- Quarterly performance contests and prizes

What We’re Looking For

- Strong face-to-face communication and leadership skills
- Self-directed and comfortable in a performance-based environment
- Reliable mode of transportation
- Smartphone and ability to travel throughout an assigned market
- Willingness to provide field support and coaching when needed

- Focus primarily on recruiting, training, and leadership
- Have qualified closers run their team’s appointments
- Learn to close and increase their earning potential
