About the role

About Watershed
Watershed is the enterprise sustainability platform. Companies like Airbnb, Carlyle Group, FedEx, Visa, and Dr. Martens use Watershed to manage climate and ESG data, produce audit-ready metrics for voluntary and regulatory reporting including CSRD, and drive real decarbonization. We are looking for team members who love product-building, want to work hard at a mission-oriented startup, and will collaborate with us in shaping the culture of a growing team.

We have offices in San Francisco, New York, Denver, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Mexico City, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!

The role
We are looking for an experienced sustainability professional to join our growing Sustainability Advisory team. The team serves as a strategic advisor to Watershed's customers, including more than 20% of the Fortune 500, helping them advance their corporate sustainability programs.
Our primary areas of focus include:
Decarbonization planning and execution across Scopes 1-3

Climate target setting, (e.g., SBTi-aligned targets)

Voluntary and regulatory disclosures, (e.g., CSRD, UK SRS, CDP)

Beyond customer engagements, the Sustainability Advisory team serves as a trusted internal source of expertise. We partner with the Product team to bring sustainability intelligence into the Watershed platform, and with the Go-to-Market team to strengthen Watershed’s expertise, differentiation, and thought leadership.
In this role, you’ll be a highly trusted advisor to sustainability leaders at some of the world’s largest and most consequential companies. You’ll help shape sustainability strategies that make business sense, create the foundation for bold action, and advance progress on complex climate and environmental challenges. You’ll also help build the market-leading corporate sustainability platform by supporting teams across Watershed.
This role is intended for candidates with experience at the Senior Manager or Engagement Manager level, or above, at a leading consulting firm. The scope, autonomy, business acumen, and sustainability expertise required are comparable to those expected at that level or above.
You will
Advise sustainability leaders at many of the world’s leading companies on advancing their sustainability programs. You’ll independently lead strategic engagements across target setting, decarbonization, environmental impact management, and voluntary and regulatory reporting. Working closely with customers, you’ll develop practical strategies and build the business case for sustainability throughout their journey.

Build sustainability intelligence by staying ahead of emerging frameworks, regulations, and market developments. You’ll translate the latest sustainability trends and regulatory changes into clear, actionable guidance for customers and internal teams, helping them remain compliant, competitive, and prepared for what’s next.

Help develop new products and services by exploring emerging sustainability needs across topics and industries. You’ll prototype new ways to create value for customers and expand Watershed’s impact at the intersection of sustainability, advisory, and technology.

Shape Watershed’s expertise and point of view by contributing to thought leadership, customer-facing materials, and internal enablement. You’ll help establish Watershed as a trusted partner for companies navigating the future of corporate sustainability.

What we’re looking for
10+ years of professional experience, including at least 4 years at a consulting firm in client-facing roles and at least 4 years working in sustainability.

Deep expertise in corporate decarbonization and familiarity with key climate frameworks, including the GHG Protocol, PCAF, SBTi, ISO standards, and relevant reporting frameworks and regulations such as CSRD, LSRS, CCDAA, ASRS, ISSB, and CDP.

The ability to think clearly about complex problems and work confidently with data. You are systematic, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills. You can present complex analyses and recommendations to C-suite audiences and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

A track record of driving strategic initiatives in complex organizations. You can influence decision-making while managing multiple internal and external stakeholders across organizational levels.

A strong interest in solving climate change and enthusiasm for helping define the future of corporate sustainability at a high-growth company.

Nice to have
Fluency in multiple languages, such as English, Spanish, French, or German.

What’s the interview process like?
It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know the team members through 1 to 2 conversations about Watershed, your experience, and your interests. Next steps can vary by role, but usual next steps are a skill or experience interview (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience call for other roles) which leads to a virtual or in person interview panel. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.

What if I need accommodations for my interview?
At Watershed, we are dedicated to ensuring an inclusive recruitment process. We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities, long-term conditions, mental health needs, religious observances, neurodivergence, or pregnancy-related support requirements.
