About this role
Account Executive: New Partner Sales
Location: Remote, US (50% Travel Required)
Why This Role
Most jobs selling heat pumps mean pitching the same box as everyone else. This one is different. Quilt reinvented the heat pump and is also reinventing what an HVAC OEM looks like, with heat pump systems homeowners actually want in their homes and software that makes our partners’ businesses easier to run, and most contractors haven’t heard the pitch yet.
As an Account Executive on our New Partner Sales team, you’re the first real conversation a contractor has with Quilt, and every partner you sign grows our network and your paycheck. If you love the hunt and want to be the first call a contractor gets from the company changing how heat pumps are sold, we’d love to talk.
Why Quilt
Heating and cooling is going through its biggest shift in decades. Over 80 million US homes will move from burning fuel to electric heat pumps, pushed along by rebates, regulation and homeowners who want lower bills and a better product.
That’s one of the largest replacement cycles in any market, and the incumbents are showing up with the same beige boxes and clunky remotes they’ve sold for 100 years.
We built something better. Quilt makes beautifully designed, AI-optimized heat pump systems with software that makes it easier for dealers to sell, install and service. We sell only through HVAC contractors, with ~160 Quilt Certified Partners across the US and Canada today, and everything we build starts with helping those partners grow their top line and run a more efficient business.
We’re also building the first true consumer brand in HVAC, and we’re doing it alongside the brands our partners have spent years, and often generations, earning in their communities. Homeowners trust the name on their local contractor’s truck, and we believe that name matters more than ours.
So rather than competing with our partners for the customer, everything we build is meant to make them look better at the
