Senior Technical Product Manager - Carbon and Environmental Models (all genders)

The team at Klim is building the operating system for regenerative agriculture. We help farms restore their soil - and we turn that into real, measurable business value for the food companies, banks and insurers who depend on it.

We’re a Berlin-based agritech startup backed by $22M in Series A funding, partnering with global food leaders such as Nestlé and ADM to build supply chain resilience through regenerative agriculture. Since 2020, we’ve supported +4,000 farmers managing over 900,000 hectares.
