Status: Full-time, Exempt

About the Role

Are you a natural leader who thrives in the field and believes that face-to-face conversations are still the most powerful way to build trust? Brooklyn SolarWorks is looking for a driven Solar Canvassing Manager to build and lead our field marketing program from the ground up.

In this role, you’ll own the program end-to-end: crafting the canvassing strategy, building the tools and materials, selecting software, and recruiting, training, and managing a team of canvassers who represent Brooklyn SolarWorks in neighborhoods across NYC. You’ll start as an individual contributor — generating leads and shaping the door-to-door strategy — then grow into managing your own team. The responsibilities listed are not exhaustive; this role is accountable for the full scope of the team’s function, including safety, strategy, execution, and leadership, ensuring alignment with business operations and organizational goals. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the field, loves building teams, and believes that face-to-face education is still one of the most powerful ways to earn trust.

What You’ll Do

• Plan and execute an effective field canvassing strategy to generate qualified solar leads
• Build relationships with local businesses and community partners to generate solar education and lead generation programming
• Manage and coach a team of canvassers and an event coordinator to expand the impact of field marketing capabilities
• Create and maintain all canvassing and field marketing materials including scripts, printed collateral, gear, and budget
• Research, recommend, and implement canvassing and lead-tracking software
• Establish clear processes for lead capture, analysis, data accuracy, and follow-ups
• Act as a steward of the BSW brand in the neighborhoods we serve

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 3+ years of canvassing or door-to-door sales experience
• 3+ years of team management experience (lead, motivate, and develop)
• Experience with lead tracking software, CRM programs, and Google Suite
• Strong interpersonal and customer service skills
• Ability to walk, climb stairs, and stand for long periods of time
• Comfortable working outdoors and managing physically demanding field work in varying weather conditions
• Valid NY Driver’s License with a clean driving record

Nice to Have:

• Solar or renewable energy experience

Compensation & Perks

$70,000 – $80,000 base salary + commission. On Target Earnings (OTE) with commission: $80,000–$100,000+ annually.

Benefits:

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance — BSW covers 100% of employee premiums on select medical plans
• 401(k) Retirement Plan (Traditional & Roth) with 4% tiered company matching — eligible after 6 months
• Quarterly profit-sharing bonus
• Paid Time Off + 11 company holidays
• Pre-tax commuter transportation benefit (MTA MetroCard)
• HSA and FSA options
• Free Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
