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 Product Managers at Watershed are the glue that unites engineering, design, climate science, and go‑to‑market under a single cohesive vision—and then ship it.

No footprint is actually measured by counting atoms—every footprint relies on methodologies, emission factors, and reference datasets to translate activity data into emissions. Getting this right is what makes corporate sustainability reporting credible. Watershed centralizes that effort across hundreds of enterprises, and the Methodology team is the engine that keeps it accurate, current, and opinionated toward decarbonization. You will partner with climate scientists, data engineers, verifiers, and standards bodies to decide what we build, why it matters, and how we deliver—with a relentless focus on scientific rigor, customer impact, and scale. YOU WILL - Own the roadmap for Watershed’s corporate methodology: define the vision, strategy, and north‑star metrics for our data artifacts that constitute methodology (ingestion templates, activity types, external source databases, r
