About the job

Welcome to Perennial.

Perennial is raising the global standard for Scope 3 emissions measurement and verification across agriculture and land-based supply chains. Our technology enables leading food, beverage, and consumer-goods companies to measure, manage, and reduce Scope 3 emissions with scientific rigor — while also supporting high-integrity carbon-credit programs for regenerative agriculture.

We work with some of the world’s largest and most complex supply chains, combining digital MMRV, soil science, and scalable data infrastructure to unlock climate impact at enterprise scale.

This role is designed for someone who is commercially driven, deeply fluent in Scope 3, and motivated by and experienced in closing large, multi-year enterprise deals.

Our headquarters is in Boulder, CO, USA. We are a fully flexible company that supports remote and hybrid work and is accepting applicants from the United States and Europe.

We’re venture-backed by mission-aligned investors including Temasek, Bloomberg, Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, SineWave Ventures, Alumni Ventures Group, and Collaborative Fund.

Position Overview

We are hiring Perennial’s first dedicated Scope 3 Sustainability Sales Leader – Enterprise Sales to expand our fast-growing sales organization to bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and network to a) help design, implement, and update Perennial’s Scope 3 GTM strategy and b) originate, hunt, and close net-new enterprise relationships with large global food, beverage, ingredient, and retail companies
This role is 100% focused on new logo acquisition and revenue generation. You will own the full commercial motion — from identifying target accounts and opening doors, to executive-level selling, structuring multi-year contracts, and closing complex deals
You will work closely with Perennial’s science, product, marketing, and delivery teams, but you are accountable for bringing in new customers. You must bring an existing knowledgebase and network related to Scope 3
This is not a passive role. We are looking for someone who is hungry, resilient, and comfortable carrying a quota in an emerging, complex, and fast-scaling market

Target Customers

You will sell into large, global enterprises with complex agricultural and land-linked supply chains, including:
Global food & beverage brands
Ingredient traders and processors
Dairy, protein, grain, and beverage companies
Retailers with private-label supply chains

Think the largest global food & beverage brands and agribusinesses (Fortune 500–scale companies and major commodity supply chain leaders).

What You'll Do

New Business & Revenue Generation
Own net-new enterprise sales for Scope 3 measurement and decarbonization solutions.
Prospect, qualify, and close large, multi-year SaaS and services contracts with global food & beverage companies
Build and manage a consistent enterprise pipeline, from first meeting to signed contracts
Drive deals that involve Scope 3 inventories, FLAG emissions, supplier engagement, and land-based decarbonization
Executive-Level Selling:
Engage directly with Chief Sustainability Officers, VP Sustainability, Procurement, Supply Chain, Climate, and Finance leaders
Translate technical MMRV, soil carbon, and Scope 3 concepts into clear business value, risk mitigation, and ROI
Navigate complex buying committees across sustainability, procurement, finance, and legal teams
Deal Leadership
Lead discovery, solutioning, pricing, contracting, and negotiation
Structure commercial agreements, including pilots, phased rollouts, and global expansions
Maintain accurate CRM reporting, pipeline forecasting, and close plans
Market & Strategy Feedback
Partner with Perennial’s leadership, product, science, and policy teams to design, implement, and update Perennial’s Scope 3 strategy
Stay ahead of evolving Scope 3 regulations and frameworks (GHG Protocol, SBTi FLAG, CSRD, SEC climate rules)
Serve as an internal subject matter expert on enterprise Scope 3 buyer needs, workflows, and standards
Provide market intelligence to inform product roadmap, pricing strategy, and go-to-market positioning
Partner closely with Marketing to shape audience-specific messaging, content, and campaigns that resonate with sustainability, procurement, and supply chain leaders
Represent Perennial at industry events, conferences, and executive forums

What You'll Bring

5–10+ years of enterprise sales or business development experience
Existing relationships with executives at target companies
Proven track record of closing complex, high-value enterprise deals (multi-six- and seven-figure ARR)
Sales process requires comfortability with complex technology and policy considerations
Deep familiarity with Scope 3 emissions, sustainability reporting, or land-based supply chains
Experience selling into large food, beverage, agriculture, or CPG organizations
Demonstrated hunter mentality — self-sourced pipeline, relentless follow-up, and comfort with rejection
Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, ambiguous startup environment
Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree a plus

You'll Thrive in This Role If You...

Are motivated by closing deals, not just talking strategy
Enjoy opening doors where no relationship exists yet
Can balance technical credibility with commercial urgency
Are comfortable carrying a meaningful quota in an emerging market
Desire to help define how Scope 3 decarbonization is commercialized globally
