The role
We are looking for a customer-focused and analytically-minded person to join the Sustainability Data Advisory team in our San Francisco or New York office on a fixed-term basis, starting in December 2026. This is a chance to join a core team at a growth-stage startup that works with the world's top companies to speed up their sustainability programs. You'll work directly with customers as a trusted advisor, leading measurement sessions and delivering advisory services that unlock the full value of our platform. You'll help customers get clear, reliable insight into their sustainability impact and reach their sustainability goals.
You will:
Advise sustainability teams at many of the world's top companies. You'll work directly with customers on how to measure actionable carbon and non-carbon footprints to reach sustainability goals and enable real reductions. The work ranges from scoping new measurements to in-depth methodology comparisons between footprints.
Deliver services that speed up customer success. You'll help customers set up their measurements to meet sustainability goals, act as a trusted partner in emissions verifications, and give specialized advice to improve their data and methodologies. You'll make sure customers get the most out of Watershed's platform, faster and more effectively than they could on their own.
Collaborate with science, engineering and product teams to build new measurement solutions and expand Watershed's sustainability intelligence layer.
You might be a fit if you:
Have 2–4 years of experience in a consulting, solutions-engineering or other customer-facing role. You are excited to work directly with customers to help them set the foundation for world-class sustainability programs.
Have experience in sustainability-related fields, greenhouse gas accounting and/or ESG reporting.
Are an excellent verbal and written communicator. You can explain complex topics to technical and non-technical audiences.
Learn quickly and work well in ambiguity. You are organized, systematic and efficient, and you thrive in a high-volume environment.
Think clearly about complex problems and are comfortable using and speaking to data. You are meticulous and detail-obsessed.
Are passionate about solving climate change and excited to help do so at a fast-paced startup.
