We’re looking for an energetic marketer who thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is motivated to set and deliver on bold targets in a challenging market.
Our ideal candidate will be innovative, smart, and flexible able to move easily from creating compelling positioning to briefing analysts, brainstorming product strategy, or creating a new sales play. Our audience is discerning, and the right person will have a high bar for creativity and execution, even if they’re not (yet!) experts on climate.

- Comfort with fast-paced, scrappy environments, with a bias for action and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuff done
- A deep (and a little nerdy?) interest in how software products work, particularly in the climate space, combined with a growth mindset
FAQ
What’s your approach to remote work?
Watershed is hiring team members on all US and EU time zones, and we’re committed to growing a long-term distributed team.
