Job Description
Who we are
Carbon Removal Canada is an independent non-profit accelerating the scale-up of carbon removal technologies by advocating for policy that enables responsible deployment, producing evidence-based research and analysis, and connecting the right people to the right information. We work with public and private actors to rapidly build the carbon removal industry. Together, we can position Canada as a global leader, unlocking investment for carbon removal, driving economic growth, and meeting our climate targets.
The role
We are seeking a Director of Policy & Research to set Carbon Removal Canada’s strategic policy direction, build the evidence base for action, and help unlock carbon removal at scale.
In this role, you will design and champion high-impact policy pathways and produce the research and analysis that will shape Canada’s enabling environment for high-integrity carbon removal. Your expertise will anchor Carbon Removal Canada’s advocacy and thought leadership - translating rigorous policy analysis, quantitative modeling, and market intelligence into actionable recommendations.
You will identify and advance innovative solutions that remove barriers to scaling carbon removal, whether by strengthening existing regulations or designing new approaches for emerging methods. Working closely with our Public Affairs team, you will ensure these evidence-backed approaches resonate with decision makers, while cultivating relationships and gathering insights across the carbon removal ecosystem.
This position is remote in Canada, and reports to the Executive Director.
What you’ll do
Policy Strategy
- Shape Carbon Removal Canada’s policy agenda and strategy by defining what effective, high-integrity carbon removal policy looks like in Canada and identifying the most impactful policy levers and pathways
- Identify opportunities to integrate carbon removal into existing policies and programs (federal and provincial) or to design entirely new policy and regulatory regimes
- Collaborate with the Public Affairs team to ensure policy proposals are grounded in evidence and ambition, and that they resonate with decision makers
Research & Analysis
- Produce high-quality reports, papers, briefs and other written materials that communicate findings and recommendations clearly and persuasively
- Conduct and commission quantitative analysis and economic modeling to assess policy impacts and strengthen the case for carbon removal
- Track market developments and analyze how policy design influences private investment and technology deployment
- Manage external engagements with contractors, advisors, and interns as needed, and liaise with partner organizations to produce joint research products
Stakeholder Engagement
- Build relationships with and gather insights from carbon removal companies, academic institutions, ENGOs, coalitions, and civil society groups
- Provide strategic oversight for community engagement efforts, ensuring responsible carbon removal principles are embedded in policy and research design
- Represent Carbon Removal Canada at technical meetings, conferences, and policy forums, bringing credibility to the carbon removal conversation
What we’re looking for
All candidates must have:
- A graduate degree in public policy, political science, economics, or a related field
- 7+ years of experience in policy research, analysis, and development in a think tank, government, advocacy organization, issues-based non-profit, or similar
- Experience working in emerging fields within climate, and / or familiarity with carbon removal or carbon management
- A deep understanding of the Canadian government and public policy environment, including both federal and provincial contexts
- Comfort with scientific papers and quantitative analysis; experience translating complex technical and policy concepts into actionable recommendations for diverse audiences
- Proven ability to build credibility with and engage decision makers, industry leaders, academics, and civil society stakeholders
- Experience supervising and collaborating with consultants, partners, and other stakeholders to drive development of knowledge products
- Excellent writing, editing, and verbal communication skills
- Highly organized, self-directed, and a problem solver with demonstrated leadership and project management skills
You’ll really impress us if:
- You have a track record of developing innovative policy solutions in emerging technology fields
- You have experience with carbon removal, carbon management, carbon markets, or related clean technologies
- You are obsessed with data and how it can be used to measure impact and help shape effective policies - and have quantitative modeling capabilities
- You have a PhD in a related field or equivalent advanced research experience
Location, travel, and hours
This is a remote role, based anywhere in Canada. Applicants must have legal authorization to work in Canada. We typically work standard hours (9am to 5pm ET), and meetings will usually fall within that, but we are more focused on getting things done effectively than on the hours you work.
We hold in-person team retreats quarterly, and additional ad-hoc meetings may be necessary where in-person collaboration is preferable. Director-level staff should be ready to travel to events, conferences, and meetings to represent the organization as needed.
What we offer
Carbon Removal Canada is committed to providing competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits to our team. The salary for this position starts at $125,000, commensurate with experience, plus comprehensive health benefits and generous paid vacation.
