From the employer
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 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.

What You Bring
3–5 years of experience in account management, partner management, or partnerships, ideally in SaaS, tech, ads, or high-growth companies

A marketing and growth mindset: you think about funnels, user acquisition, and what makes a launch land
The ability to work independently, prioritize across a portfolio, and own outcomes end to end
Creative problem-solving: you find a way when the obvious path is blocked
Clear, confident communication with partners, executives, and technical teams
Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where you'll help build the process while executing it
