Warehouse Manager

Skills :     Account Manager

Job Description:

Quilt's mission is to move humanity off of fossil fuel heating. 20% of US global warming emissions come from homes (that's more than cars!). The largest driver of home emissions is burning fossil fuels for heat. To complete the energy transition, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.

We believe for this to happen the world needs fantastic products that are easy and desirable to purchase. Today's heat pumps lack great design, make limited use of software, and are difficult and stressful to adopt. We are building a next-generation, beautifully designed, AI-optimized home heating and cooling system that is 10x better than what is on the market today. We are making it easy to purchase and adopt by managing all sales, rebates, permitting, and installation for our customers.
