Martens use Watershed to manage climate and ESG data, produce audit‑ready metrics for voluntary and regulatory reporting including CSRD, and drive real decarbonization.

No footprint is actually measured by counting atoms—every footprint relies on methodologies, emission factors, and reference datasets to translate activity data into emissions. Getting this right is what makes corporate sustainability reporting credible.

You will partner with climate scientists, data engineers, verifiers, and standards bodies to decide what we build, why it matters, and how we deliver—with a relentless focus on scientific rigor, customer impact, and scale.

YOU WILL Own the roadmap for Watershed’s corporate methodology: define the vision, strategy, and north‑star metrics for our data artifacts that constitute methodology (ingestion templates, activity types, external source databases, reporting queries, etc).

Own verifier partnerships: source, negotiate, and manage relationships with third‑party verification and assurance providers, ensuring Watershed’s methodology earns external trust and meets evolving audit requirements.

Navigate the open‑data and standards ecosystem: build and maintain relationships with open‑dataset providers, standards‑setting bodies, and industry alliances; evaluate when to adopt, contribute to, or build alternatives.

Design for correctness and auditability: work with climate scientists and data engineers to ensure methodologies are accurate, transparent, and defensible under regulatory scrutiny.
