Kalshi · New York, United States · 3mo ago
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 has crypto markets live and is aggressively expanding our presence in the space. We're looking for a Crypto Relationships Manager to own that expansion from the trader side, building and deepening relationships with the high-conviction, high-volume crypto natives who drive meaningful activity on the platform.
You'll be the person who defines what our crypto trader relationships look like at Kalshi: building the playbook, identifying who matters, bringing them in, and making sure they stay deeply engaged. You'll work directly with product, growth, and leadership to shape how Kalshi engages with the crypto community.
What You'll Do
Identify, engage, and onboard crypto-native power users onto Kalshi's crypto markets
Own relationships with our most active crypto traders end-to-end, from first contact through long-term retention
Serve as the primary point of contact for top-tier users: answering questions, surfacing feedback, resolving issues, and keeping them close
Develop a deep understanding of each trader's activity and use it to proactively surface relevant markets, features, and opportunities
Represent Kalshi at crypto conferences, events, and in online communities where our target users spend time
Work with product and growth to translate trader feedback into platform improvements and inform how we develop the crypto product
Build and maintain a pipeline of high-potential traders through your existing network and outbound outreach
What You Bring
6+ years of experience in a sales, relationship management, or account management role with meaningful time spent in crypto or adjacent financial markets
A genuine, existing network in the crypto-native trading community
Deep familiarity with crypto markets: how they work, what traders care about, and how to speak credibly about market structure, event contract mechanics, and trading dynamics
Track record of driving revenue or engagement through high-touch account management
Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where the product is still evolving and you'll need to figure things out on the fly
Strong written and verbal communication (you're equally at home in a Telegram group and a one-on-one call with a serious trader)
Bonus
Existing presence or following in crypto communities (X, Discord, Telegram)
Experience at a crypto exchange, trading platform, or fintech with a crypto product
Familiarity with prediction markets, event contracts, or derivatives
Holds a Series 3 license

We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets.
Kalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1.
