Financial Operations
- Associate/Sr. Associate

Sunlight Financial is a contractor-focused point of sale lender with a relentless focus on providing amazing service and delivering a best-in-class experience to our entire ecosystem. We're rapidly growing in every home service vertical
- Windows, Remodel, HVAC, Roofing, Fencing, and more - and need exceptional talent to help us reach our goals.

Since inception, Sunlight has funded over $12 billion in loans with thousands of high-quality contractors nationwide—and we're just getting started. We're looking for passionate, driven teammates to help scale our growing home improvement business.

At Sunlight, we empower our teammates to make a meaningful impact. We're looking for A players who thrive in a fast paced, entrepreneurial environment. We're a fast-growing company which means initiatives and strategy can evolve quickly as the business scales. We need teammates who move with that agility instead of resisting it: people who live and breathe and an ownership mentality and don't wait to be asked, who take initiative and execute, and who step in on what needs doing even when it's not strictly "theirs."

Our salaries are competitive, our benefits are generous, and our culture is collaborative, connected, and fun.

If this sounds like you and you'd like to come build with us, we'd love to talk to you.
