Company

The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition. Bedrock Energy is on a mission to transform the heating and cooling of buildings, using carbon-free, hyper-efficient, and ultra-safe geothermal energy to radically reduce costs for people and the environment. Incorporated in 2022, Bedrock has raised over $25M in capital from investors like Titanium Ventures, Energy Impact Partners, and Wireframe Ventures, and we are gathering exceptional talent to scale up geothermal heating/cooling for real estate and infrastructure developers in any city in the world. We seek creative, collaborative, proactive team members who inspire us with their high standards of excellence, integrity, and commitment to our shared mission.

Bedrock is now in its second year of commercialization and ready to build foundations for scale up. We are beginning to accelerate business development with real asset operators who seek to grow long-term value, asset resilience, and sustainability across their portfolios.

Role

This position leads Bedrock’s commercial function. You build the sales team, win the deals that get built, and find the repeatable motion that carries us from early traction to scale. It is a critical leadership role accountable for Bedrock’s growth.

Geothermal heating and cooling is a complex, high-stakes purchase: sophisticated buyers, long sales cycles, and deals financed over fifteen to twenty years, won on trust as much as economics. Success means working closely with our engineering and delivery teams to shape what we can credibly promise, and with customers to set expectations, structure creative deals, and build the relationships that move a long-term commitment forward. Bedrock sells both as a long-term financed asset (Geo-as-a-Service) and through direct energy system sales. You know the decision-makers in large corporate real estate portfolios, and you own the go-to-market strategy that decides who we target and how we sell.

You are an executive leader and a closer in equal measure — senior enough to set the strategy, own the number, and grow a team but also willing to sit across the table from a building owner and close the deal yourself. You bring a network in our priority segment and act as our lead closer while the team is small, then hire and coach around yourself as we scale, building the playbook from real, won deals. As Bedrock's first commercial leader, reporting to the CEO, the strategy, team, and standards you set will define Bedrock's success.

Drive Market Adoption: From first outreach through contract signing, you will lead the full sales cycle, crafting compelling value propositions that resonate with C-level decision makers.

Recruit, lead, and grow the commercial organization: project developers, account executives, project managers, sales engineers as a single leader providing one clear set of priorities

Hold the bar for high deal velocity, deal discipline, customer relationship quality, and mission-oriented culture through hiring, coaching, and performance management

A track record of building high performing teams: org design, hiring, coaching, and performance management

Willingness to be hands-on with travel up to 30%, including time with customers

Excellence: You hold yourself, and your team members, to high standards of performance.
