We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
About the Role

You’ll review credit and identity verification results to ensure accurate and compliant customer approvals. Effective communication and detailed process management are key for you to mitigate company risk while delivering an excellent experience for our members. Please note that this role is an hourly position.

Payment Collection: Enforce non-payments and reach out to delinquent members via call, text, and email to help them remain in good standing.
Payment Support: Respond to member inquiries regarding their payment failures or issues.
Fraud Prevention & Credit Quality: Take action on results and responses from credit and identity checks.
Data Entry: Maintain accurate, detailed records of delinquent or declined members and their statuses.
Exception Management: Use sound judgment and empathy to offer alternate payment plans and make exceptions for extenuating circumstances.
Policy Compliance: Ensure you comply with all regulatory requirements as you manage our payments and risk tasks.
Bill Generation: Manually troubleshoot and send bills that failed to send automatically.
What You'll Bring
2+ years of experience in payments and risk - ideally within energy, utilities, or a similar consumer industry.
Customer-facing experience in support or a related field.
Strong organizational and process management skills with high attention to detail.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Proficiency using data management tools, spreadsheets, and CRM systems.
Problem-solving mindset.

Every day brings a new challenge, balancing high ownership and accountability with constant collaboration and support from the team.
