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, and remote team members across the US and Europe. We hope that you'll be interested in joining us!

The role

Watershed is hiring for an experienced Recruiter in London to cover a 12 month maternity leave. You will be the only recruiter in the EMEA market working across all of our European functions including GTM, Climate, Business & Engineering. The role will focus on cultivating strong partnerships both locally and with leaders across our global organisation to find, attract, and retain the very best talent.

We value an exceptional eye for talent, the ability to share a vision that is both mission and business-driven, a strong grasp of recruiting data, and a passion for building high-performing teams. You should be someone who embeds themselves with teams and is a strong consultative recruiter that holds the candidate experience sacred. We move fast and change is constant, but the day-to-day tasks will include stakeholder management, candidate sourcing, scheduling, full-cycle recruiting, and project-based work to help scale the talent function. The people at Watershed will ultimately determine our success, and this role will directly impact our ability to deliver on our vision.

You might be a fit if you:

  • Have 5+ years of recruiting experience, ideally within B2B Saas.

  • Have successfully recruited and hired for various functions across GTM, Business & Engineering

  • Are an excellent verbal and written communicator

  • Have great selling and closing skills

  • Are organised, systematic, and efficient. You can work across many differing roles/functions and never sacrifice the candidate experience.

  • Are passionate about solving climate change and excited to contribute to doing so at a fast-paced startup.

  • Have experience working at fast-growing companies and are comfortable with ambiguity.

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 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. If you need assistance during your process, please contact your recruiter.
