Recruiter - Growth and Marketing

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.

Role Roadmap

Kalshi’s next stage of growth depends on hiring exceptional people who can bring prediction markets to a much larger audience. We’re looking for a Marketing & Growth Recruiter to help build the teams responsible for making that happen.

You’ll own recruiting across growth, marketing, brand, creative, communications, and partnerships. These searches span very different disciplines - from performance marketers and lifecycle operators to designers and creators - and require someone who can quickly understand what great looks like in each.

This is a hands-on role with ownership from sourcing through close. You’ll work directly with hiring managers to define the bar, find people who aren’t actively looking, and run a fast, thoughtful process that turns strong prospects into Kalshians.

What You’ll Do

• Manage role intake, sourcing, screening, interview processes, offers, and closing across marketing and growth.

• Map relevant companies and teams, develop targeted outreach, and find talent through LinkedIn, portfolios, communities, referrals, and creative research.

• Understand the differences between paid acquisition, lifecycle, brand, creative, communications, and partnerships - and what strong performance looks like in each.

• Translate business needs into clear candidate profiles, distinguish essential skills from preferences, and use market feedback to refine searches.

• Understand what candidates personally built, shipped, or improved, and help identify the people with the judgment and execution ability to succeed at Kalshi.

• Drive timely feedback, maintain clear next steps, resolve bottlenecks, and give candidates a responsive, well-run experience.

• Build relationships, understand candidate motivations, tell Kalshi’s story, and partner with hiring managers to bring offers across the finish line.

• Track pipeline health, conversion, speed, and offer acceptance to understand where searches need attention and make changes quickly.

What You Bring

• You’ve successfully recruited across several relevant disciplines and can speak credibly with both candidates and hiring managers.

• You know how to build a search from scratch, reach passive candidates, and uncover talent beyond the obvious companies and titles.

• You look beyond a recognizable employer or polished résumé to understand someone’s actual contribution, ability, and potential.

• You take responsibility for outcomes, follow through on details, and maintain momentum across multiple searches.

• You can earn trust, give direct feedback, and challenge assumptions constructively.

• You connect with people, understand what matters to them, and help them see how they could contribute at Kalshi.

• You learn unfamiliar functions quickly and make progress as priorities and hiring needs evolve.

Bonus

• Experience recruiting for a rapidly scaling consumer, fintech, marketplace, or crypto company.

• An established network across marketing, growth, brand, or creative talent.

• Experience building recruiting processes or opening new hiring functions.
