Engineering manager, reporting

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, Denver, 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!

Sustainability teams in all organizations need to deliver complex, accurate and high quality reports on their environmental impact. These sustainability reports go to regulators, investors, customers and employees. With these teams under pressure to support regulations of increasing complexity and frequency the product needs to take the strain.

The Reporting team builds advanced products to support this task, whether it’s embedding sustainability knowledge to help users understand their obligations, building AI powered workflows to draft and review content, or enabling collaboration across a customer organisation.

We are hiring an engineering manager to lead our reporting team based in London, driving our most critical platform and product investments to scale and grow our impact globally.

In this role, you will:

• Partner with Product, Design and our Customer teams to define technical roadmap that balances time to market for innovative features with stewardship of the codebase

• Own team execution ensuring we build with quality and pace while supporting the growth of your team

• Oversee AI adoption - both enabling IC engineers to stay at the forefront, and building world class AI products with demonstrable ROI

• Partner with other engineering leadership to make Watershed a productive, innovative and impactful place for engineers to do their best work
  

You might be a good fit if you have:

• 8+ years of engineering experience; 3 years in management roles

• Experience building user-facing applications considering usability, performance and scale

• Systems thinking ability; able to grok the big picture, identify the load bearing challenges and help others to focus on what matters most

• Experience in leadership roles with high-performing engineering teams

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