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 climate, you’ll build domain expertise in one of the most critical and motivating problem spaces!

We are specifically hiring a lead designer to be the owner of our reporting teams 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 experiences that allow the world’s biggest customers to scale their own reporting efforts via multi-player report authoring, reusing metrics and answers, creating custom reports and dashboards, 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

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
• 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
• Prior experience in the climate space is not necessary
• Want to join a startup, take responsibility for the fate of the company, and move fast

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

FAQ

Where does Watershed work?

We have hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and some remote team members in the US and EU. Most of our jobs need to be in San Francisco / New York / London, but certain jobs are open to being remote and will be specifically noted on the jobs page and in the job description.

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 screen (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 after that if the screens go well. We prioritize transparency and lack of surprise throughout the process.
