Summary of Role:
SunPower’s mission is to change the way the world is powered. Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in the US. Not only is going solar beneficial for the planet; for most Americans it also saves money vs. buying power from the utility.

The mission of the Financial Products team is to remove that barrier by making it cheap and easy for customers to go solar. This is a “ground floor” opportunity, and the ideal candidate is a true builder. Raising the bar for customer experience in Financial Products is core to SunPower’s strategy, and this role will play a critical role in driving future growth.
