If you buy this specific model (44 mm, GPS + WiFi), it will work with your iPhone but it will always need to be in the range of your iPhone or connected to the same WiFi network that your iPhone is, in order to communicate. If you want a GPS + Cellular model, you must buy it through Verizon because your iPhone's service is with Verizon. This is because when you buy an Apple Watch with cellular capability, it has to share the same phone number that your iPhone has. Contact the Verizon representative that handles your company's corporate account and ask them how you can buy a Series 4 Apple Watch with GPS + Cellular capability & activate service with them.

The iPhone and Watch must use the same carrier as they use the same phone number. There is no way to set up an Apple Watch as a standalone device.

It might be best to check directly with Apple or Sprint. It is easy to pair your watch with either network regardless of the phone or network. And you can have more than one Watch paired. Also, do you plan on getting cellular or gps? Do you have a personal phone as well? If so just pair everything to your personal devices. If not, pair it to your work phone and have a password to protect your personal information. I found the user experience to be more seamless when evething is paired together in iCloud Apple eco system.
