• Help residents determine whether they qualify
• Assist eligible households through the enrollment process
• Follow up with interested residents when needed
• Represent Aurum professionally in the communities we serve

What We’re Looking For

This is a perfect opportunity for someone looking to get into outside sales without actually having to sell anything. 

You don’t need experience. We’re looking for people who are:

• Comfortable meeting and talking with new people
• Motivated and self-driven
• Dependable and coachable
• Comfortable working in the field
• Interested in community outreach and helping people
• Able to work weekends
• Equipped with reliable transportation and a smartphone

Schedule

Wednesday–Sunday

Monday and Tuesday off.

The position includes neighborhood outreach as well as community events.

We provide training, weekly team development and dinner, assigned outreach areas, event opportunities, enrollment support, and tablets when needed.

Why Aurum

You’re not asking people to purchase an expensive product. You’re helping eligible households access a program designed to reduce their electricity costs.
