Solar, batteries, EV chargers, hot water &#8211; if it plugs into the sun, we\u2019re on it. We connect thousands of households every month with installers we\u2019ve actually vetted (the dodgy ones don\u2019t make the cut).<\/p>\n<p>We sold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solarquotes-origin\/\">to Origin Energy in late 2024<\/a>. Yes, a multi-billion-dollar giant now owns us. No, that hasn\u2019t made us boring. We still run the show ourselves &#8211; just with a lot more fuel in the tank.<\/p>\n<h2>The Role<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ll be the second-in-command, and your job is to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure homeowners get a clear, efficient, and trustworthy experience.<\/li>\n<li>Support installer clients (the ones who pay us) so they get timely leads, clear communication, and quick issue resolution.<\/li>\n<li>Work with our content and marketing teams to improve and expand our content for homeowners and installers.<\/li>\n<li>Support a whip-smart 19-person crew spread across Adelaide, Sydney, Orange, Portugal and Brazil.<\/li>\n<li>Directly manage our end-user support and client operations team members.<\/li>\n<li>Fix what\u2019s clunky, sharpen what\u2019s working, and keep projects moving.<\/li>\n<li>Keep an eye on numbers so we know what\u2019s working and what\u2019s not.<\/li>\n<li>Step in for me (SolarQuotes&#8217; General Manager Trevor Glen) when I\u2019m not around.<\/li>\n<li>Live and breathe our values: no bullshit, no dodgy deals, customer first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What We\u2019re Looking For<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve run ops before (bonus points if it was digital or service-based).<\/li>\n<li>You think commercially, balancing customers and the business.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re organised but not uptight.<\/li>\n<li>You can see a messy system, fix it, and make it stick.<\/li>\n<li>You get people: how to back them, guide them, and keep them firing.<\/li>\n<li>You like working with misfits and renegades.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019re comfortable with tools like Zapier, CRMs, and workflow automation.<\/li>\n<li>You use AI tools daily. You know when they\u2019re a help and when they\u2019re hype. This is important &#8211; if you are not across AI by now, you are not a good fit for this role.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Details<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We\u2019re based in the CBD of Adelaide. We\u2019ve been a work-from-home-first company since 2009, but we\u2019d prefer you\u2019re Adelaide-based.<\/li>\n<li>Report directly to me, the GM.<\/li>\n<li>Full-time, full-throttle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want an easy, faceless corporate gig, this is not for you. You\u2019ll be running operations inside a one-of-a-kind company that SolarQuotes Founder Finn Peacock built from scratch, and it\u2019s still run with the same energy &#8211; now with a bigger engine.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Apply<\/h2>\n<p>Send your CV, cover letter, and a short video explaining why you\u2019re right for the role to jobs@solarquotes.com.au.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is an exciting time at SolarQuotes as we scale up to accelerate home electrification across Australia.
