Residential Sales Manager
Fort Collins, CO - USA
Job Summary
Most residential sales management roles in solar and home energy services are built around one thing: volume. More doors. More reps. More contracts. Managers who push hard for numbers but dont really develop people. Teams that burn hot for a while and then fall apart.
Thats not how Sandbox operates.
Were looking for a Residential Sales Manager to lead coach develop and strengthen an already growing residential sales team. This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for improving consistency accountability communication pipeline performance and long-term team development while helping build a stronger and more scalable residential sales organization overall.
Yes sales performance matters here. A lot. But customer experience matters too. Reputation matters. Operational quality matters. Long-term team development matters. Were not looking for a stereotypical push harder sales manager. Were looking for someone who can step into leadership quickly earn respect from the team mentor effectively communicate clearly create accountability and genuinely help salespeople improve over time.
And this role goes beyond solar.
This leader will oversee all residential sales activity across Sandbox including solar HVAC batteries and integrated home energy solutions. We do not operate with siloed solar-only and HVAC-only sales organizations. Were actively building a more integrated residential sales approach including representatives capable of selling across multiple residential energy categories instead of operating in isolated departments.
This role is about building people just as much as building performance.
And honestly this is a pretty substantial opportunity.

The people who thrive here tend to be builders - people who like helping shape systems teams culture and long-term growth instead of simply maintaining the status quo.
