About Polymarket

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized  house,  Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.

We're growing fast, both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.

We've signed million-dollar deals with some of the biggest names in media, including the Wall Street Journal, Substack, Stock Twits, and Real Clear Politics . Right now, nobody owns the day-to-day execution on these relationships. That's the problem this role exists to solve.

You'll sit inside the Marketing team and report directly to the Head of Marketing. This is not a strategy-only role. You'll be in the weeds managing placements, updating creatives, tracking performance, and making sure every dollar we've committed to these partnerships is actually working. We're heading into a major election cycle and the media landscape around prediction markets is moving fast.

We need someone who can keep pace and push these deals further than where we signed them.

The ideal candidate has sat on the other side of this equation. You've worked at a media company, you've managed brand partners, and you know from experience which placements actually drive results and which ones just look good in a deck. You'll bring that context to Polymarket and use it to hold our partners accountable and find new ones worth betting on.
