Solar Marketing Specialist - Part Time Weekends - Gilroy - Part-time

Overview

Join Sungevity’s Rooftop Revolution! Solar energy is the way of the future; it’s clean, it’s affordable, and we make it easier than ever before for people to start saving money – and the environment.

We’re looking for passionate, energetic, and goal-oriented people to join our rapidly expanding Solar Marketing Team. The desire for solar energy – and specifically Sungevity – is exploding and we need people who can help us sustain and build on this momentum.

The Role
