Remote USA (50% Travel Required)

Account Executive: New Partner Sales

Location: Remote, US (50% Travel Required)

Our Mission

Our 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 stop climate change, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.

Today's heat pumps lack great design, make limited use of software, and leave consumers desiring more. Quilt has built a next-generation, beautifully designed, intelligent heating and cooling system that is 10x better than what is available today. We are now expanding our sales approach to partner with HVAC contractors to bring Quilt to market.

The Role

As an Account Executive: New Partner Sales, you are the tip of the spear for Quilt’s market expansion. This is a true hunter role focused heavily on prospecting new HVAC contractors, selling them on Quilt's product and program benefits, and successfully enrolling them into our partner network. Your primary objective is to close new partnerships and secure their corresponding initial stocking orders.

This role requires high energy and hustle. You will conduct heavy outbound cold outreach, represent Quilt at industry events, and travel where necessary in the field to create opportunities and close deals face-to-face. You will be held to objectives and key results (OKR’s) tied directly to the volume of new partners signed, enrolled into Quilt's programs, and the revenue generated from their initial stocking orders.

Responsibilities

  • Prospect and Hunt: Identify and target prospective HVAC contractors who align with Quilt's vision through rigorous / proactive outbound engagement.
  • Pitch and Close: Sell contractors on the unique benefits of Quilt's system and partner programs, officially enrolling them into our network.
  • Drive Initial Revenue: Secure corresponding initial stocking orders from newly signed partners to meet specific revenue targets.
  • Field Hustle: Travel to meet contractors in the field, build relationships, and close new partners (Average Travel: 50%).
  • Represent Quilt: Attend industry events and trade shows to create new opportunities and build Quilt's brand presence among HVAC professionals.
  • Pipeline Management: Maintain CRM hygiene and track all contractor interactions, sales pipeline progress, and partner performance metrics.
  • Hit Key Objectives: Consistently achieve OKRs and quotas tied directly to the number of partners signed and initial stocking order revenue.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in channel sales, contractor sales, HVAC distribution, or a related field.
  • Experience in selling to HVAC contractors is strongly desired
  • A relentless sales and business development mindset with a proven track record of acquiring new partners and hitting quotas.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills—you understand your audience, listen actively, and tailor messaging accordingly.
  • Self-starter mentality with the ability to work independently, hustle in the field, and build scalable outreach processes.
  • Passion for innovation and sustainability—genuine interest in Quilt's climate mission.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to travel (averaging 50%) to contractor locations and events as needed.
  • Experience using a CRM (ideally Salesforce) to manage partner relationships and pipeline.

Don't meet 100% of the requirements? That's okay, apply anyways! If you're excited about this role and think you could bring something unique to the team, we encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match perfectly.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: The expected base salary range is $125,000 - $150,000 plus variable compensation.
  • Equity: Meaningful stock options in a fast-growing company
  • Benefits: Top-tier health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Career Growth: Opportunity to be a foundational team member in Quilt's channel sales organization

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
