Head of Communications Job at Tbwa Chiat/Day Inc in Redwood City

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 accomplish the clean energy transition, over 80 million 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 home heating and cooling system that’s smarter and more efficient than anything else on the market today. We’re also making it easy to purchase and adopt by managing all sales, rebates, permitting and installation for our customers.

Role

Quilt is looking for an excellent communicator, writer, culture-builder, and heat pump hype person to lead public relations and corporate communications. This role will work closely with Quilt’s head of marketing and founders to share the brand’s category leadership and positive impact with our customers via the press.

Quilt is focused on sharing its story across business, design, climate, technology, and consumer press – basically anywhere and everywhere customers learn about improving their homes. Quilt has a big vision for the future of heating and cooling, and communications is a major growth lever and channel of focus. We are looking for this leader to build a drumbeat of compelling storytelling, solidify Quilt’s category leadership, and bring inspiration, color, and energy to the heat pump category. We’re living in the midst of a massive global energy transition, and this role will be a critical part of the tidal wave of heat pump adoption.

Qualifications

• 7-10 years of PR and communications experience, strong consumer brand experience preferred.

This is a full-time, hybrid position in our Redwood City office.
