Watershed is on a mission to drive meaningful climate action, and our Sustainability Data Advisory (“SDA”) team plays a key role in helping customers to reach their sustainability goals and achieve real reductions. This team acts as a trusted advisor to some of the world’s largest and most influential companies, including Walmart, BlackRock, and Fedex, helping these companies to complete rigorous and actionable measurements in the Watershed platform.

This includes - but is not limited to - integrating AI into the team’s workflows.
This is a unique opportunity to be an early leader within Watershed’s Mexico City office. As a key leader in this new office, you’ll play a critical role in building an inclusive, supportive, and high-performance culture, not only for your team, but for the broader Mexico City office as a whole.

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.
