- At Klim, we work with farmers and food companies to make regenerative agriculture scalable and financially rewarding for farmers. Through our platform, we help farmers restore soil health, increase biodiversity and capture carbon while creating new, reliable income streams. We're a Berlin-based AgriTech startup backed by $22M in Series A funding, partnering with global food leaders such as Nestle and Kaufland to reduce emissions across their supply chains and build long-term resilience. Since 2020, we've supported 3,500 farmers managing over 900,000 hectares.
The Role
You bring the farm-business, economics lens and perspective on agricultural market opportunities for farmers into Klim's digital agronomist products. Your focus is the financial, operational and market reality of arable farms in temperate climates, ensuring that recommendations, scenarios and models reflect how farmers actually think about profitability, risk, cash flow and investment decisions.
Responsibilities
Farm economics models & benchmarks: develop and maintain farm-economic models, metrics, and benchmarks, including production costs, profitability, ROI, and revenue streams; build benchmarking frameworks across farm types, regions, production systems, and transition stages; analyze farm accounting and operational data to develop economic assumptions, benchmarks, farm typologies, and segmentation; assess market opportunities and explore tools that help farmers make informed crop and marketing decisions.
Transition economics & farmer decision-making: analyze the economic impact of regenerative practices on profitability, costs, revenues, cash flow, and risk; translate agronomic interventions such as cover crops, tillage changes, fertilizer optimization, and crop rotations into farm-level economic outcomes; model farmer decision-making, including investment planning, financing, equipment needs, and risk management; quantify and communicate the business case for regenerative agriculture for both farmers and food companies.
Economic product development: integrate economic models with biophysical outputs such as yield effects, fertilizer reductions, soil carbon, and resilience indicators; contribute to farmer-facing economic decision support and planning tools; define economic requirements, formulas, assumptions, and logic for product features; validate, document, and improve economic models; collaborate closely with Product, Agronomy, Engineering, Commercial, and farmer-facing teams.
Requirements
Strong background in agricultural economics, agricultural markets, farm management, agribusiness, farm consultancy, agricultural banking, policy, or a related field.
Strong understanding of the economics of arable farming systems in temperate climates; practical exposure to farming through farm management, consultancy, agricultural finance, advisory work, or a farming background.
Understanding of how farmers balance agronomic, operational, and economic considerations when making decisions; experience with regenerative agriculture is a plus but not required.
Comfortable building quantitative models, working with farm financial data, and deriving insights from complex real-world datasets; analytical, detail-oriented, and able to work independently on quantitative and conceptual problems.
Fluent in English; German is a strong advantage. Comfortable using AI tools to increase efficiency while maintaining high-quality standards.
