Perennial
Perennial is building the world’s leading verification platform for soil-based carbon removal.
Welcome to Perennial.
Perennial is a climate tech company on a mission to revolutionize the way the world approaches regenerative agriculture through the power of AI and remote sensing. Globally, soils are recognized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as one of the largest, fastest potential methods of mitigating climate change by drawing down 3-5 billion metric tons per year of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Perennial is scaling up the agriculture industry’s ability to fulfill that potential by providing purpose-built software and scalable measurement & verification technology that helps our customers incentivize regenerative agriculture globally. Our flagship product is the world’s most advanced remote measurement technology for soil carbon sequestration and emissions, which fuses machine learning, ground observations, and satellite data to map soil carbon content from field to continent scale.
We’ve raised $25M+ to date from leading investors including Temasek, Bloomberg, and the Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, and we serve customers throughout the regenerative agriculture value chain. At Perennial, you will work in a mission-driven and collaborative environment alongside a diverse team with backgrounds spanning science, technology, carbon markets, and agriculture.
Our headquarters are located in Boulder, CO USA. We are a fully-flexible company for remote and hybrid work.
About the Role:
As a Data Analyst focused on GHG Accounting, you will be responsible for supporting and leading various agricultural GHG accounting efforts within Perennial’s Scope 3 initiatives. These efforts include execution of pilot projects with external customers and identifying and handling large and diverse agronomic datasets for incorporation into a scalable data pipeline. We are looking for a candidate with strong data management skills who has also performed GHG accounting work in a research or professional capacity, preferably focused on agriculture. In this role, you will work closely with our Applied Science and Data Science teams to meet internal requirements, support product and technology development, and support data and product delivery.
We live by our Core Values.- Speak your truths, welcome new voices.- Celebrate your successes, own your mistakes.- Solve important problems.- Invest in each other.- Build for the future.- Get your hands dirty!
We challenge the status quo. We’re a group of people who want to create the changes we hope to see in the world. See some of our recent press about the problems we’re committed to solving.

We offer competitive compensation packages. Our team is our most valuable asset. We want everyone who works for us to feel fairly compensated for the impact they bring to our mission. The team member in this role can expect a starting salary in the range of $60,000 - $95,000 USD alongside equity in the company.
