Head of Scientific Modelling

At Klim, we are building a movement together with farmers and companies to make regenerative agriculture scalable and impactful. As an AgriTech startup based in Berlin, we work with farmers to regenerate soils, promote biodiversity and sequester carbon – and through our platform, farmers receive fair compensation for doing so.

With a Series A funding round of $22 million, we are expanding and are working with leading companies in the food industry such as Nestlé and Lorenz Snackworld to help them reduce emissions along their supply chains while simultaneously increasing their resilience and profitability.

Since 2020, we have convinced more than 4,000 farmers managing more than 1.000.000 hectares across Germany and Poland to join us, and we are now the leading provider of Scope 3 solutions in Europe!

If you are passionate about building a sustainable food system and creating real climate impact, come join us and help create a healthier planet!

Klim is seeking an impact-driven Head of Scientific Modelling to lead the scientific backbone of our climate and regenerative agriculture work.

This is a unique opportunity to shape and scale the scientific foundation of Klim's regenerative agriculture programs, making sure our models are not only robust and scalable, but also audit-ready, aligned with leading standards and certification frameworks as well as clients’, farmers’ and strategic requirements.

Your mission:

As Head of Scientific Modelling, you will lead the development, integration, and validation of Klim's modelling ecosystem, spanning soil carbon and broader regenerative agricultural impact models. You will lead the development of our core models (RothC and other process-based biogeochemical models) and act as the scientific authority responsible for ensuring consistency and rigour across every scientific model used in the company.

In addition to owning the development and calibration of our core SOC models, you will define and drive an ensemble modelling strategy, integrating multiple models and data sources into a coherent, scientifically robust, and scalable setup. You will ensure that Klim's modelling approach is not only scientifically sound, but also aligned with certification requirements and capable of supporting decision-making across diverse geographies and farming systems, while meeting our customers’ and farmers’ requirements.

This role sits within the MRV team with a strong focus on model integration, validation, and system-level thinking. You will also manage Klim's soil scientists in a matrix organisation, setting technical standards, mentoring on scientific quality, and growing the team's modelling capability over time. You will work closely with product, data, and engineering teams to translate complex modelling approaches into operational, audit-ready workflows.
