About Hometree Hometree is a home energy services company on a mission to accelerate the transition to net zero. By fixing, installing and financing home energy hardware, we're helping homeowners transition to low-carbon solutions, when they are ready. Heating contributes 14% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions.

Hold yourself and others to account. Obsession for the Customer - Put the customer's needs at the heart of everything you do. Teamwork - Collaborate to get to the best outcome and have a little fun along the way. Speed - Make decisions fast. Test, learn and iterate quickly to deliver the best result. Role and responsibilities As our sales leader for prospective and current home cover customers, you will be the focal point for everything sales and retention related, inbound and outbound.

Our ambition is to attempt to retain every customer who tries to leave us whether that be at renewal or those who try to leave mid-term. Finally, our ability to transition existing customers who want or need to replace their boiler into a new boiler or (soon to be) greener option financed through Hometree Finance is a critical part of our decarbonisation story.
