📊 Only 1.3% of CDR roles are in policy. That’s a problem.

🧐 Policy is central to scaling CDR, yet policy roles remain critically underrepresented. Let's take a look.

💼 Out of 2,865 jobs recorded by CDRjobs, only 38 have been in policy, just 1.3% and a stark contrast to what is needed.

📍 Where were these roles?

✅ 10 in the US

✅ 2 in Canada

✅ 2 in the UK

✅ 2 in Belgium

✅ 1 each in Germany, Spain, India, Norway, Singapore, and Kenya.

📌 Currently, there are just 8 policy roles available, across 8 different companies - check the comments for details.

🤨 The challenge: CDR depends on effective policy. Without it, market incentives stall, certification frameworks remain vague, and public-private funding mechanisms struggle to scale. Yet, hiring trends suggest it’s not yet a priority?

🚨 If we’re serious about gigaton-scale CDR, this needs to change. More policy talent means better regulation, stronger incentives, and a clearer path to market adoption.

❓ What’s missing? Why aren’t we seeing more policy hires in CDR? Let’s discuss.
