Full Job Description

ABOUT WATERSHED Watershed https://watershed.com/ 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're looking for a Sales Development Manager to lead a team of SDRs focused on generating pipeline for our North American sales team. You'll own the day-to-day leadership of your team: coaching reps, running pipeline plays, holding a high bar on execution, hiring, and building the systems that make your team consistently productive. This isn't a "manage from a dashboard" role. You'll be in the trenches with your reps, listening to calls, workshopping messaging, and helping them break into complex enterprise accounts. You'll also partner closely with Account Executives, marketing, and revenue operations to make sure the pipeline your team generates is high-quality and well-positioned to convert. The right person for this role is a coach and a builder. Someone who gets energy from developing people, is obsessive about pipeline quality over vanity metrics, and wants to be part of a team that's figuring out what world-class pipeline generation looks like at a category-defining climate tech company. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Lead, coach, and develop a team of SDRs responsible for building the pipeline that powers Watershed’s growth. - Own your team's pipeline generation targets and drive consistent execution against weekly, monthly, and quarterly goals - Build and refine outbound prospecti
