Project Canary is the industry’s leader in turning complex emissions data into actionable, reportable insights, helping energy companies reduce risk and meet evolving reporting requirements.

By combining deep emissions measurement expertise with a flexible software platform, Project Canary delivers the customized emissions data solutions operators need in today’s energy environment.
Five years into our journey, we partner with each customer to meet today’s objectives while preparing them for what’s next, all with a lean, high‑impact team.
The Impact You’ll Make:
As the Senior Director of Business Development, you will self‑source, negotiate, and close six‑ and seven‑figure deals that deliver measurable operational value across the energy value chain. You’ll own a personal quota and help shape the go‑to‑market playbook for the future, without inheriting a 30‑person team. Think of yourself as a player/coach: sleeves rolled up, dialed into both the big picture strategy and the nitty gritty details, and documenting what works. We value raw problem‑solving ability and learning velocity over years in seat. If you’re sharp, hungry, and resourceful, you’ll thrive here. This role will be based out of our headquarters in downtown Denver, Colorado, and will also travel frequently.

Represent Project Canary in the market.
