About the role

The Role The binding regulations that will determine ERW's revenue ceiling for the next decade — the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework, Japan's GX-ETS, California's AB 1207, and Article 6 mechanisms under the Paris Agreement, among others — are being written now. Terradot needs to establish clear, tangible entry proof-points within these markets.
Equally, existing tax credits like 45Z and 45Q represent sources of immediate value. The Head of Policy is the person who makes that happen. This is not a communications or government affairs role in the traditional sense. It is a technical-political-commercial role: you need scientific and carbon market literacy to understand key scientific sticking points

You will own Terradot's regulated market entry strategy and be the primary driver of the company's regulatory positioning across all key jurisdictions.
Role Responsibilities Own regulated carbon market entry strategy - Drive regulator-aligned partnerships, MOUs, and methodology co-designs that open qualifying pathways into compliance carbon markets across target jurisdictions.
Engage and manage external policy stakeholders - Know when to bring in external consultants or lobbyists and how to manage them to deliver outcomes, not just advice.

You have written consultation responses, methodology submissions, or position papers that have actually changed regulatory text.
Proven ability to translate regulation into business opportunity and vice versa.
Experience with Article 6 mechanisms (6.2 bilateral or 6.4 Supervisory Body), including what a Letter of Authorization requires and how corresponding adjustments work in practice.

Strongly Preferred Familiarity with agricultural carbon markets or soil-based removal methodologies.

Terradot needs to establish clear, tangible entry proof-points within these markets.
Equally, existing tax credits like 45Z and 45Q represent sources of immediate value.
The Head of Policy is the person who makes that happen.

You are the recognized expert on ERW regulatory strategy inside Terradot and are building the company's external reputation as a serious, science-led participant in the policy processes that will shape the carbon removal market.
Experience in an early-stage company or startup environment.
