Marketing Activation

Kalshi•New York City, NY

2d•$110,000 - $155,000

About The Position

Kalshi is defining a new category 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. Role Roadmap We’re looking for a creative, scrappy, and execution-obsessed Marketing Activation team member to help bring Kalshi’s brand to life. This role sits at the intersection of content, partnerships, and experiential marketing; you’ll dream up concepts, build attention-grabbing activations, and execute across everything from a 20-person pop-up to a citywide stunt. If you’re the kind of person who can turn a half-formed idea into a fully formed activation, thrives in ambiguity, and loves taking swings big and small, you’ll fit right in.
