Customer Support Specialist
Sola
Hi, I’m Wesley, CEO at Sola.
At Sola, we built a smarter, fairer, and more affordable insurance product that’s helping homeowners after wind/hail and natural disaster events. As we grow our reach, we’re looking for a passionate, service-minded teammate to help us support the agents and policyholders we serve.
If you're someone who loves solving problems, building relationships, growing within a fast-paced startup, and have 1-3 years of sales / customer service experience, please apply.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Wesley
About this Role:
As a Support Specialist at Sola, you’ll serve as the trusted first point of contact for our agents, policyholders, and prospective customers. You’ll respond to questions and issues over calls and emails with speed, clarity, and care, ensuring every interaction reflects our commitment to reliability. You’ll also manage the claims process from first notice of loss through final payment, keeping everything organized and on track. In addition to customer-facing work, you’ll spend 10–20% of your time supporting internal operations tasks. You’ll work closely with teams across the company to ensure our customer experience and operations are as efficient and dependable as the products we build.
This is an in-person role based at our midtown Atlanta office (730 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta GA 30308).
About Sola:
In the last few years, millions of home insurance policies suddenly skyrocketed by 3 or 4 times due to market instability. As a result, Sola launched the only affordable and reliable wind/hail coverage in the entire market.
Our mission is to provide the most reliable and affordable insurance ever created. With premiums only based on your property risk, not claims history or personal details, this results in fair, consistent pricing for every customer. As Sola solidifies their position in the market as the only go-to solution for this issue, it aims to expand across all types of natural disasters and property-related risks.
