About The Position
Electrifying homes and buildings is one of the most important ways to cut emissions, lower energy bills, and build a more reliable electric grid. While many incentive and financing programs exist to support this work, they are often difficult to use in practice. The challenge is not technology. It is complexity. Every heat pump, EV charger, and solar installation comes with paperwork, eligibility rules, income verification, and long wait times for payment. Contractors such as plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians are busy running small businesses. They do not have the time or resources to navigate complicated incentive programs, especially when serving lower-income customers. This friction slows everything down. At the scale required, tens of millions of home upgrades, it becomes a serious barrier. That is what Eli is here to fix. Eli is a fast-growing, venture-backed software company working to make clean energy upgrades easier to deliver and easier to access. We build tools that help contractors apply for incentives, submit paperwork, and receive payment quickly. This allows them to focus on doing great work instead of dealing with bureaucracy. Our software supports upgrades such as heat pumps, EV chargers, insulation, solar, and battery storage. It helps move projects from idea to installation without unnecessary delays. In Colorado specifically Eli helps contractors across the state with application processing and upfront payments for rebate programs like Xcel, HEAR, and EnergySmart. Most of our growth has come through inbound and referrals and now, we’re looking for someone based in Colorado to spend time on the ground with contractors and get more contractors signed up. We're expecting this to start as a 3-month role, but we're open to different structures in terms of hours per week and duration.
