About Aerem
Aerem is a solar rooftop lending company financing residential solar installations across India, sourced through a network of EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) partners. As rooftop solar adoption accelerates nationally — including under government programs like PM Surya Ghar Aerem is building a lean, high-performing field finance team to power this next stage of growth.
Role Overview
We're hiring driven, finance-savvy Relationship Officers / Sales Managers to join Aerem's solar finance team.

Key Responsibilities
- Build and manage relationships with EPC partners across the assigned territory to generate a steady daily pipeline of residential solar finance leads.
- Conduct on-ground visits to EPC offices, installation sites, and customer homes to source and qualify leads.
- Guide customers through the loan application journey — collecting KYC, income documents, and bank statements.
- Perform preliminary credit assessment: read and interpret bureau (CIBIL/Experian) reports, analyze bank statements for average balance and bounces, and assess income and repayment capacity for both salaried and self-employed applicants.
- Coordinate with the credit and operations teams to ensure smooth loan processing, from login through to disbursement.
- Maintain daily and weekly lead and conversion trackers and report pipeline status to the reporting manager.
- Stay current on residential solar scheme guidelines (e.g., PM Surya Ghar subsidy structure) to confidently address customer questions.
- Consistently meet or exceed monthly login and disbursement targets.
