Kalshi•New York, NY

23h•$150,000 - $250,000

About The Position

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 vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet. Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets. 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. This role is not a traditional influencer marketing role. The job is to identify creators who shape conversations around sports, politics, finance, and culture, convince them to partner with Kalshi, negotiate high-performing deals, and continuously improve the efficiency of the creator portfolio. In the near term, the role will focus on making Kalshi unavoidable during the NFL season and the U.S. midterm elections. Longer term, the role will help build the largest creator partnership network across sports, news, and culture. The ideal candidate is energized by cold outreach, loves negotiating, enjoys finding hidden opportunities before anyone else, and measures success in results.
