About Perry Weather

At Perry Weather, we're trusted by top organizations like the PGA of America, the National Football League, Turner Construction, and Major League Baseball to automate weather safety operations and mitigate risk. Named a Great Place to Work and an Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Company, Perry Weather is headquartered in Dallas at The Centrum in the vibrant Oak Lawn neighborhood.

Our software, hardware, and real-time weather alerting help organizations make critical operational decisions every day. From protecting student-athletes and fans to keeping construction crews safe and minimizing costly delays, we empower customers to operate confidently when weather has the potential to disrupt their people, operations, and events.

About the Role

Thousands of organizations trust Perry Weather's weather safety platform to protect people, minimize operational disruption, and make confident weather-related decisions. Our customers range from Fortune 500 companies and professional sports organizations to school districts, municipalities, golf courses, universities, airports, and construction companies. Whether supporting a major sporting event, a large-scale construction project, or a local school district, our meteorologists play a critical role in helping customers make safe, informed decisions when weather matters most.

As an Operational Meteorologist, you'll serve as a trusted weather advisor to customers across our entire portfolio. You'll provide timely, accurate forecasts and actionable guidance while building strong relationships with customers who rely on Perry Weather every day. For many of our enterprise customers, you'll also deliver personalized meteorological support tailored to their operations and weather safety plans. You'll combine technical expertise with exceptional communication skills to translate complex weather data into clear recommendations that help customers confidently navigate changing conditions.

What You'll Do

• Provide operational forecasts and real-time weather support for customers across a diverse range of industries, including professional sports, construction, aviation, education, municipalities, golf, and other weather-sensitive operations with customized meteorological support for many of our enterprise customers.

• Respond to inbound customer calls, emails, and weather-related requests with timely, accurate guidance.

• Help customers make mission-critical decisions, including:

  • Should we delay or cancel today's game?

  • What is today's heat safety risk for outdoor activities?

  • How will this storm impact our construction schedule?

  • When is it safe to resume operations?

• Prepare proactive daily forecasts.

• Partner closely with Customer Success and Support teams to deliver a best-in-class customer experience.

• Contribute to continuous improvements in forecasting processes and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Meteorology or Atmospheric Sciences.

• Experience forecasting in operational or high-impact weather environments.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex weather concepts to non-meteorologists.

• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.

• Customer-focused with a passion for helping others make informed decisions.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, rapidly growing environment where priorities can shift quickly.

• Available to work 12-hour shifts, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays, to provide continuous weather monitoring and support for our customers.

• This is an in-office position based in our Dallas headquarters in the Oak Lawn neighborhood.

Nice to Have

• Experience in broadcast or operational meteorology.

• Familiarity with industries such as K-12 education, parks and recreation, golf, aviation, construction, collegiate athletics, or professional sports.

• Experience delivering weather briefings to operational stakeholders or executive audiences.

Why This Role Matters

• Perry Weather is growing rapidly-expanding 80-100% year over year and our Operational Meteorology team is at the heart of that growth. Every day, thousands of customers depend on our meteorologists to provide timely, accurate, and actionable forecasts that directly influence real-world decisions.

• Whether it's helping determine if a professional sporting event should be delayed, advising a construction company on approaching severe weather, protecting airport operations, or guiding a school district through a lightning event, your expertise has an immediate and measurable impact on safety, business continuity, and customer confidence.

• This is more than forecasting the weather. It's translating complex meteorological data into clear recommendations that customers rely on when every minute matters. If you thrive in high-pressure situations, enjoy solving meaningful problems, and want your work to influence decisions across some of the country's most recognizable organizations, you'll find this role incredibly rewarding.

Benefits

• You'll actually want to come in. Our Oak Lawn office isn't just a place to sit, it's where ideas move fast and culture stays strong. The whole team is here Monday through Friday, which means real collaboration, no chasing people down over Slack, and a genuinely fun place to spend your work days.

• Your wellbeing is covered. Competitive health insurance, 401(k) with employer matching, and a full suite of voluntary benefits, because you shouldn't have to think twice about the basics.

• Good people, good times. Monthly All-Hands, Office Olympics, happy hours, and more. We take the work seriously and the culture seriously too.

• You're getting in early, and that matters. We're growing fast, but the biggest opportunities are still ahead. The people joining now will help shape what Perry Weather becomes.
