Quilt is hiring: Warehouse Manager in Emeryville

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. And we are making it easy to purchase and adopt by managing all sales, rebates, permitting and installation for our customers.

Quilt is looking for a self-motivated, organized, and operationally-minded individual to set up and manage Quilt's brand new main warehouse for the Bay Area. Located in Emeryville, CA, this 6,000-sqft warehouse will be the hub for all the installation materials and products needed to install the Quilt HVAC system at customer's homes in SF and East Bay. The Quilt Warehouse Manager will be employed full-time on salary, and have the opportunity to set up and influence Quilt's company-wide warehouse management process.
