Position Summary

HomeWorks Energy is seeking a dependable, customer-focused, and technology-savvy Customer Intake Associate (CIA) to join our Internal Operations team.

This is a fast-paced, high-volume customer service and sales position combining inbound and outbound calls, customer intake and qualification, appointment scheduling, lead outreach, approvals support, admin work, and special projects.

Customer calls are a primary responsibility, but this is not a calls-only position. CIAs are expected to remain productive throughout the workday by transitioning between customer calls and assigned operational work based on business needs.

Successful candidates are strong communicators who are comfortable with technology, enjoy helping customers, work well independently, and can manage multiple priorities in a structured, performance-driven remote environment.

What You'll Do

Handle high-volume inbound customer calls and provide professional, accurate, and efficient service
Make outbound calls to leads, referrals, prospective customers, and customers requiring follow-up
Educate customers about HomeWorks Energy programs, eligibility requirements, services, and next steps
Perform calls to collect and verify customer, property, utility, and other required information
Assist qualified customers with scheduling, confirming, canceling, and rescheduling energy assessment appointments
Complete assigned customer intake, qualification, and approvals-related work
Follow up with customers to obtain missing information or documentation
Work assigned leads and outreach campaigns to help convert interested customers into scheduled appointments
Resolve routine customer questions and concerns and appropriately escalate complex issues
Accurately document customer interactions, outreach attempts, appointments, and outcomes in Salesforce and other systems
Follow established procedures, workflows, scripts, and program requirements
Participate in training, coaching, quality reviews, and virtual team meetings

Between-Call Responsibilities

When not actively assisting customers, CIAs are expected to remain engaged in assigned productive work, which may include:

Lead and referral outreach
Customer callbacks and follow-up
Intake and approvals queues
Appointment scheduling, rescheduling, confirmations, and cancellation recovery
Customer information/document requests
CRM updates and documentation
Customer email or case queues
Wait-list, backlog, or other customer outreach initiatives
Data cleanup, process improvement, and special projects

Employees must be able to independently transition between inbound calls, outbound calls, administrative work, and other assigned responsibilities throughout the workday.

Qualifications

Required

2+ years of previous experience in a high-volume customer service, call center, inside sales, scheduling, intake, or similar environment
Strong computer skills with the ability to efficiently navigate multiple systems and applications simultaneously
Ability to accurately enter information and document customer interactions while speaking with customers
Excellent verbal, written, and active-listening skills
Strong organization, attention to detail, time management, and follow-through
Comfortable making outbound customer and sales-related calls
Ability to learn and retain detailed processes, program requirements, and system workflows
Ability to work independently in a remote environment and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment
Ability to receive and apply coaching and feedback
Consistent, reliable, and punctual attendance

Preferred

Previous successful remote or hybrid work experience
Experience with Salesforce, Five9, or similar CRM/contact-center systems
Experience with appointment scheduling, lead management, customer qualification, or inside sales

Performance & Attendance Expectations

CIAs work in a performance-driven environment and are expected to balance excellent customer service with productivity, accuracy, efficiency, and results.

Performance may be measured through customer experience, quality, productivity, call handling, appointment conversion, sales, lead follow-up, documentation accuracy, process adherence, schedule adherence, and attendance.

Reliable attendance is an essential requirement of this position. Employees are expected to log into their computers within their remote work environment on time, remain available throughout their scheduled shift, and adhere to assigned schedules, breaks, lunches, meetings, training, and phone coverage.

Planned PTO or discretionary time off is not permitted during training
PTO is not available for use during the first 90 days of employment in accordance with company policy

These expectations do not supersede legally protected leave, reasonable accommodations, applicable sick-time requirements, or other rights under applicable law or company policy.

A quiet, dedicated remote workspace free from distractions and interruptions during scheduled working hours
A remote environment appropriate for professional customer calls, meetings, coaching, and training
The ability to maintain confidentiality of customer and company information
Reliable high-speed internet with a minimum of 100 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload
A stable connection capable of supporting customer calls, virtual meetings, training, and multiple cloud-based applications
