Position Description
EIP is seeking a highly motivated Contractor & Customer Finance Outreach Representative to support implementation of an energy efficiency financing initiative on behalf of a major Pennsylvania investor-owned utility company. In this role, you will support outreach, education, and relationship management efforts with contractors, trade allies, implementation partners, and customers to increase awareness and use of financing options for eligible energy efficiency projects.
The Contractor & Customer Finance Outreach Representative will play an important role in helping financing become an integrated part of the customer journey. This includes working with energy efficiency program implementation contractors and other delivery partners to ensure financing options are understood and promoted consistently, engaging contractors and trade allies that can connect customers to financing resources and helping customers understand how financing can support project implementation.
This role will also support development of a matching function that connects customers, contractors, and trade allies with appropriate financing providers. The Contractor & Customer Finance Outreach Representative will work closely with internal staff, implementation partners, and the lender-facing team members to help ensure financing options are communicated effectively, referrals are coordinated, and financing support is accessible and actionable in the market.
The ideal candidate is relationship-driven, organized, comfortable engaging both contractors and customers, and able to translate financing concepts into practical, market-facing messaging that supports project uptake.

• Market Development: Help expand market awareness and use of financing solutions by identifying barriers, building relationships, and strengthening communication channels.

• Performance Tracking: Track outreach activity, contractor engagement, referrals, matches, and outcomes to support reporting and continuous improvement.
Daily and Monthly Responsibilities
• Engage Contractors and Trade Allies: Conduct outreach to implementation contractors, trade allies, and related market actors to educate them on the availability and value of financing options for energy efficiency projects.
• Support Implementation Partner Coordination: Work with implementation partners and delivery teams to ensure financing options are being communicated consistently and integrated into customer engagement and project development activities.

• Coordinate Referrals and Matches: Help connect customers, contractors, and trade allies with appropriate financing providers based on project type, customer profile, and lender fit.
• Support Contractor Participation: Help contractors and trade allies understand how to work with financing partners, what information is needed, and how financing can help move projects forward.
• Build Market Relationships: Develop and maintain strong relationships with contractors, implementation partners, customer-facing program staff, trade groups, and other stakeholders relevant to financing adoption.
• Track Outreach and Referral Activity: Maintain accurate records of outreach efforts, contractor engagement, customer interactions, financing referrals, matches, and outcomes in CRM and other tracking systems.
• Gather Market Feedback: Collect information from contractors, customers, and partners regarding financing barriers, customer objections, contractor needs, and program gaps to inform improvements.
• Support Communication Materials and Training: Help develop and deliver presentations, talking points, referral guides, job aids, and other materials that support financing outreach and education.
• Coordinate with Lender-Facing Staff: Work closely with the lender-facing team member to help ensure financing partners are matched appropriately to opportunities and that market-side feedback informs network developm
