Marketing Stunts

Kalshi•New York, NY

52d•$120,000 - $170,000

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. Role Roadmap Our Marketing Stunt Coordinator will lead the creation of bold, unconventional marketing stunts and experimental brand moments that capture attention and spark conversation. This is not a traditional events role—it’s an idea-generation role. You will be responsible for constantly coming up with original, culturally sharp concepts that make people stop, share, debate, and engage. Some ideas will be scrappy and fast. Others could scale into major flagship moments. This role is about creative velocity: generating a high volume of inventive concepts, pressure-testing them quickly with internal partners, and rapidly iterating to determine what’s worth building. Many of the ideas will not be “necessary” in the traditional marketing sense—they’re exploratory, provocative, and fun. The best ones will break through precisely because they feel unexpected and non-obvious. Success in this role means being endlessly curious, culturally aware, and capable of dreaming up ideas that don’t come from a playbook—or a prompt.

2–5+ years of experience in experiential marketing, creative strategy, brand activations, or stunt-driven campaigns
Demonstrated history of developing and launching 2–3+ marketing stunts or unconventional brand activations (with examples you can share)
Exceptional idea generation skills—you can produce many concepts quickly without sacrificing originality
Strong instinct for what is culturally interesting, surprising, or conversation-worthy
Ability to think experimentally and embrace ideas that are atypical, weird, playful, or exploratory
Comfort collaborating in fast-moving brainstorm environments and iterating ideas live
Strong bias toward action and resourcefulness—you figure out how to make things happen
Clear written and verbal communicator who can sell an idea internally

Operate comfortably across a wide range of budgets—from scrappy, fast-turn activations to large-scale, high-visibility moments
Identify culturally relevant hooks in current events, internet trends, and news cycles and translate them into stunt-ready concepts
Write tight, compelling internal concept briefs that clearly articulate the idea, why it works, and how it wins
