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 Kalshi is seeking a senior leader to drive Narrative Creation within our Policy & Business Development team. This role will architect and execute high-impact narratives that shape public understanding of prediction markets, democratic processes, and financial innovation.

Based in New York or Washington, DC, this role sits at the intersection of policy, media, research, and growth—building editorial products, guiding real-time communications around current events, and ensuring Kalshi is a trusted voice in the national conversation.
