About the role

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.

Martens use Watershed to manage climate and ESG data, produce audit-ready metrics for voluntary and regulatory reporting including CSRD, and drive real decarbonization.
Navigate the open‑data and standards ecosystem: build and maintain relationships with open‑dataset providers, standards‑setting bodies, and industry alliances; evaluate when to adopt, contribute to, or build alternatives.
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.
Own verifier partnerships: source, negotiate, and manage relationships with third‑party verification and assurance providers, ensuring Watershed's methodology earns external trust and meets evolving audit requirements.
Design for correctness and auditability: work with climate scientists and data engineers to ensure methodologies are accurate, transparent, and defensible under regulatory scrutiny.
Have experience working with open datasets, open‑source projects, or industry data alliances-you understand the dynamics of adopting, contributing to, and building on shared data infrastructure.

You have direct experience in climate, sustainability, or environmental science-whether through a prior role, academic background, or deep personal interest.

Have 5+ years of product management experience in enterprise SaaS, with a track record of shipping data products, datasets, or data platforms-ideally at high‑growth startups.

define the vision, strategy, and north‑star metrics for our data artifacts that constitute methodology (ingestion templates, activity types, external source databases, reporting queries etc)
Have managed external partnerships where you were the primary owner of the relationship, not just a stakeholder-bonus if those partnerships involved data providers, verifiers, auditors, or standards bodies.
Thrive in ambiguity and love turning fuzzy, conflicting inputs-from regulators, scientists, customers, and verifiers-into a clear, inspiring product vision.

Have built products for enterprise customers and can navigate compliance, change‑management, and the messy realities of data quality at scale.
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.
If you're eager to own the science and data that power climate action at scale, we'd love to meet you.
