Outbound sales development representative, enterprise

About the role

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’re looking for ambitious sales development hires to bring Watershed to more companies. We’re at an inflection point: every large company is launching a climate program as pressure for action builds every day. You’ll do whatever it takes to get those companies engaged on climate and excited about working with Watershed. As an early member of our go-to-market organization, you’ll help build the sales playbook, shape Watershed’s product, help us build a stellar team, and accelerate pipeline across North America. This hire must be in our HQ in San Francisco.

Requirements

• You have 1-3 years of experience in sales or sales development and a consistent record of over-achieving your goals.
• You take extreme ownership of our customers’ first impressions of Watershed. Customers you’ve worked with in the past should rave about working with you.
