Start your career in solar energy and home electrification with a team that values curiosity, hard work, and a willingness to learn.

Venture Home is looking for a motivated Business Development Intern to join our inside sales team in Stamford, Connecticut. You’ll work directly with our senior leadership, operations, and sales teams to connect with homeowners across the Northeast, educate them about solar energy and home electrification, and schedule meetings with our sales team.

This is an opportunity to get your foot in the door, build practical business skills, and learn how the different parts of a company work together. You’ll join a collaborative, fast-paced environment where initiative matters and team members who excel have opportunities to grow.

In this role, you will:

• Work toward individual and team outreach and appointment-setting goals.

• A student mentality: You’re curious, coachable, and eager to learn. To us, this means a mindset, not a requirement to be enrolled in school.
• A strong work ethic: You show up prepared, follow through, and take ownership of your responsibilities.
• Clear communication: You enjoy talking with people, listening carefully, and explaining ideas in an approachable way.
• Persistence and a positive attitude: You can handle unanswered calls and rejection while staying professional and focused.
• An interest in clean energy: You want to learn about solar, home electrification, and the customers we serve across the Northeast.
• A desire to grow: You’re looking for an opportunity to build your skills and earn greater responsibility.
• Availability to work in person in Stamford for the full-time schedule listed above.

You can expect:

• Direct experience working with our senior leadership and operations teams.
• Hands-on learning in solar energy, home electrification, and inside sales.
• An energetic, supportive team environment with ongoing coaching and feedback.
• Opportunities for advancement within the company for team members who consistently excel.
• Full-time employee benefits, including health, dental, vision + 401k with company match.
