About the role

WHAT IS KALSHI?

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.

We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.

• Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
• Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.

• Build and run launch plans: timelines, milestones, owners, and dependencies across Kalshi and partner teams
• Coordinate with Legal, Compliance, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to get integrations shipped and partners live
• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for partners, building trusted relationships at both working and executive levels

• Track partner performance, report on KPIs, and spot opportunities to grow, expand, or fix what's not working
• Run regular business reviews with partners and internal stakeholders
• Find creative solutions to blockers, whether technical, operational, or commercial, without waiting to be told how
• Bring partner and market feedback into decisions about product, pricing, and partnership strategy
• Help build the playbooks and processes for how Kalshi onboards and grows partners at scale
