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

To run a sustainable business, our customers need climate insights at their fingertips. That’s where great design comes in — we are building powerful software that enables the biggest companies in the world to measure their carbon footprint with ease, and drive change across their organization. Product designers at Watershed partner closely with product and engineering from vision through execution, painting the big picture and sweating the details. We’re experts in our customers goals and pain points, and drive constant iteration to get the right solution in hand to meet their needs. As designers we push each other to perfect our craft and uplevel the outcome, treasuring our weekly jams and crits. And working in sustainability, you’ll build domain expertise in one of the most critical and motivating problem spaces.

We are hiring a product designer to lead our reporting team based in London, driving our most critical platform and product investments to scale and grow our impact globally. In this role you will:

  • Lead design for our ESG reporting application, helping Watershed build a highly competitive, end-to-end reporting product and platform

  • Design and ship experiences that allow the world’s largest organizations to scale their own reporting efforts via: AI-powered multi-player report authoring, reusable metrics and answers, flexible report customization, and more

  • Drive deep discovery to uncover new product opportunities. Use customer feedback and product analytics to iterate quickly and move meaningful product and business metrics

  • Build the vision and product strategy to bring the next chapter of product to life

  • Partner closely with EPD teams to execute, and GTM to understand and build for the market

  • Leverage AI throughout your design process, as well as in the product itself to deliver great outcomes

You might be a fit if you:

  • Have 5+ years experience designing software, preferably at B2B software companies or in technical/complex problem spaces

  • Have a knack for in-the-weeds systems thinking and a love for rapid, 0-1 product building

  • Have a track record shipping powerful and intuitive product experiences that customers love

  • Are proficient in design craft fundamentals — consistently demonstrating solid design process, strong interaction craft, and an eye for polish

  • Have shipped AI products, and are proficient using AI tools to aid discovery, synthesis, and design execution

  • Are customer obsessed and excited to spend time with users and prospects

  • Are enthusiastic about product and business ownership — you are excited to go deep on climate and become an expert on the market’s paths forward

  • Want to join a startup, take responsibility for the fate of the company, and move fast

  • Prior experience in the climate space is not necessary

This position will be in person in our London office 3-4 days per week.

Must be willing to work from an office 4 days per week (except for remote roles)

Watershed has hub offices in San Francisco, New York, London, and Mexico City and satellite offices in Denver, Sydney, Paris, and Berlin. Where we have offices, employees are expected to be in office for 4 days per week. Certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description if so.

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. If you need assistance during your process, please contact your recruiter.
