Home Energy Sales Consultant

About Treehouse

Treehouse is on a mission to accelerate the decarbonization of the places we live and work. We've built the go-to operating system for home electrification - partnering with brands like Toyota, General Motors, Rivian, and ChargePoint to deliver seamless, end-to-end EV charger and battery backup installations for their customers. We handle everything from scoping to permitting to installation, powered by proprietary technology that enables us to scope and design projects virtually at scale. We've completed thousands of installations across the country, built a growing roster of national partners, and are backed by strategic investors including CarMax, Holman, and Eaton. We're a small, scrappy team working on a problem that actually matters.

About the Role

Treehouse is hiring a Home Energy Sales Consultant to own the full sales cycle for residential battery storage, vehicle-to-home (V2H), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions. We are looking for someone driven by a number and energized by a complex, consultative deal. You will serve as a trusted advisor to homeowners navigating $20,000+ decisions, translating utility bills, rate structures, and energy data into a clear financial case for backup power and vehicle energy integration. The role is open nationally with a priority on Chicago, and comes with meaningful upside above quota for top performers.

Responsibilities

The Home Energy Sales Consultant will:

• Conduct in-depth discovery calls to uncover homeowners' energy goals, utility rate structures, backup power priorities, and usage habits;
• Analyze customer utility bills to build a compelling, numbers-backed savings case across time-of-use (TOU) arbitrage, self-consumption, and rate plan dynamics;
• Scope and present battery storage and V2H proposals tailored to each customer's home, usage profile, and utility environment;
• Confidently guide customers through financing options and multi-stakeholder household decisions;
• Maintain disciplined CRM pipeline hygiene by accurately progressing stages;
• Partner closely with operations and scoping teams to ensure every proposal is accurate, feasible, and set up for a clean handoff; and
• Hit and exceed quarterly revenue and close rate targets in a metrics-driven, high-accountability environment.

Minimum Qualifications

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

• 3+ years of consultative sales experience; a background in clean energy, solar, or home services is a strong plus.
• Strong financial conversation skills, including fluency in ROI, payback periods, and financing.

Preferred Qualifications

Additionally, candidates may demonstrate:

• Prior professional experience in an early-stage startup environment.
• Working knowledge of residential battery storage products and bidirectional charging systems including V2H and V2G technology.
• Familiarity with utility rate structures, NEM dynamics, or solar and storage systems and an ability to translate this information into a persuasive pitch that moves a customer forward.
• Patient, credible, and persuasive communicator who earns the trust of homeowners making a $20K+ decision.
• Organized, self-directed, and accountable to a number, you run your pipeline.

We have a strong preference to have this role based in Chicago, but we are open to a remote candidate for the right role. This role will have an annual salary, variable compensation, plus equity and benefits. The on-target earnings range for this position is $120,000 - $150,000. This is a good faith estimate of what Treehouse may pay for a new hire; actual pay may vary based on prevailing wages in geographic location and a candidate's knowledge, skills, abilities, related experience, education, certifications, and ability to meet required job qualifications.

Featured benefits include:

• Medical insurance
• Vision insurance
