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, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, Mexico City (launching soon!) and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!

The role

We’re looking for a highly creative, strategic, and driven designer to elevate the Watershed brand and lead its evolution and execution. By delivering a wide range of compelling brand assets and upleveling our visual identity, you’ll help bring bar-raising work into the world as we further our mission to accelerate the climate economy. This is a unique opportunity to directly shape one of the fastest-growing brands in sustainability. 

Our ideal candidate will be someone who lives and breathes brand design, consistently raises the creative bar, and possesses exceptional craft and taste. You’ll be experienced with driving a brand design function, have a strong working understanding of brand design principles and systems, know how to visually cut through the noise of a crowded market, and be able to deftly alternate between big-picture thinking and nailing pixel-perfect details. 

This role is preferred to be in our San Francisco or New York City offices, but we are also open to US remote.

You will:

  • Evolve, uplevel, and scale Watershed’s visual brand

  • Lead and expand the brand design function, including selecting and managing external resources, and implementing (and experimenting with!) new visual strategies 

  • Produce and deliver a range of design systems and creative brand assets to fuel Watershed’s growth, including campaigns, launches, ads, events, content, video, templates, and more

  • Conceptualize and craft industry-leading brand campaigns to grow awareness of and affinity for Watershed 

  • Uphold and advocate for brand standards with internal stakeholders, cross functional teammates, and outside vendors 

You have: 

  • Been part of an in-house brand creative team (preferably at a high-growth software company)

  • A portfolio showing a wide range of brand assets and templates you’ve designed for multiple marketing channels

  • Strong opinions about what separates good from great brand creative 

  • A high degree of proficiency with both design and collaborative tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Asana, and Slack

  • A strong track record of soliciting and actioning feedback, successfully working with cross-functional stakeholders, and delivering projects on-time at a high bar

  • Exceptional attention to detail and a pixel-perfect approach to design

  • Outstanding organizational skills, with the ability to meet deadlines, effectively manage your time, and clearly communicate progress

  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Must be willing to work from an office 4 days per week

Watershed has hub offices in San Francisco, New York and London, and satellite offices in Sydney, Paris, Berlin, and Mexico City (opening summer 2025!). Where we have offices, employees are expected to be in office. 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.
