Job description

About Perry Weather

Perry Weather is the weather safety standard for organizations that operate outdoors. We combine on-site weather hardware with a software platform that automates alerts, siren activations, and safety decisions for more than 3,000 organizations - from the PGA of America, the NFL, and MLB to Turner Construction, thousands of school districts, cities, and golf courses. We've grown 80%+ annually for five consecutive years, and are continuing to grow.

We're headquartered in Dallas at The Centrum, in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, where our teams work together every day to help organizations make faster and safer decisions when weather puts people, assets, and operations at risk.

About The Role

As a Senior Account Executive at Perry Weather, you'll drive growth by helping customers understand their weather exposure and adopt tools that improve safety and operations. You'll work closely with GTM, product, and marketing teams to uncover new opportunities, strengthen discovery, and help shape products that deliver real value in the field.

We work with leading GCs like Turner, DPR, Holder, and Kiewit to maintain compliance and high safety standards on projects where weather-related incidents create significant cost and liability.

We're at the center of a major shift in construction. With OSHA moving toward heat-stress standards and contractors prioritizing modern safety practices, reliable weather intelligence is becoming a core operational requirement, not a nice to have. It's a rare chance to join a company already trusted by leading GCs at the exact moment the market is accelerating.

Responsibilities

• Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close across general contractors, specialty trades, and mission-critical construction customers. You'll have strong support from marketing

• Develop territory plans that focus on high-risk, high-value projects such as data centers, manufacturing, hospitals, and large commercial builds

• Visit job sites often to build rapport with supers, safety leaders, and project managers

• Build strong relationships with regional leadership and safety directors at top construction firms

• Manage a pipeline of new business while growing existing accounts

• Represent Perry Weather at industry events, associations, and trade shows

• Work with marketing on territory campaigns and with product teams to share feedback from the field

Requirements

• 5+ years of sales experience selling into the construction industry (GCs, specialty trades, industrial, or mission-critical strongly preferred)

• A track record of closing net-new business with complex operational buyers

• Comfortable on job sites and are able to build rapport and trust

• Willingness and ability to travel 40% of working time

• Strong territory planning, pipeline management, and deal strategy

• High personal accountability, strong communication skills, and confidence in leading customer conversations

80%+ annual growth for five consecutive years. A Series C company with real momentum, a clear category vision, and markets where the foundation is already built. This is a high-ceiling role for someone ready to run with it.

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.
