Founding GTM

Company The earth beneath our feet holds extraordinary, untapped capacity to accelerate the clean energy transition, with limitless geo-energy available under every real estate asset. 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 and brings together 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.  Role This role will be Bedrock's first commercial team member, shaping how we find, win, and grow our early customers. The role will start by working closely with the CEO, but within the first few months, will become the right hand to our incoming VP of Commercial, building out the sales org from the ground up. As the team grows, this role can grow with it, whether to direct a market segment or a team within the broader commercial function. At its best, this role will drive success across go-to-market strategy, sales deal delivery, functional systems, and commercially-critical special projects.  This is not a scripted BDR or SDR role. We're still sharpening our story and our product-market fit, so this role will simultaneously educate and learn from real customers, then systematize those learnings into a robust sales motion, with all the relevant back-end tools and collateral.

You should have wide-ranging curiosity that spans from technical to economic to relational: that means quick uptake on building energy & HVAC concepts, DER economics and utility tariffs, real estate development & construction processes, geo-physics and drilling conditions, and interpersonal dynamics in customer organizations.
