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
We’re looking for a highly execution-oriented growth marketer to own and scale performance-driven partnerships with DSPs and affiliate platforms. This role sits at the intersection of paid acquisition and business development, with clear accountability for growth, efficiency, and incremental lift.
You’ll be the primary operator responsible for launching new DSP relationships, negotiating commercial terms, onboarding supply, testing quickly, and scaling spend while maintaining strict CAC discipline. Success in this role comes from a bias toward action, comfort operating in ambiguity, and the ability to turn partners into repeatable, high-ROI acquisition channels.
What You'll Do
Own and scale performance-driven partnerships with DSPs and affiliate platforms, with responsibility for growth, efficiency, and execution
Identify, source, and launch new DSP and affiliate relationships, including pitching Kalshi and negotiating commercial terms
Onboard new supply and partners, ensuring smooth technical and operational setup
Design and run rapid testing frameworks across partners, creatives, audiences, and bidding strategies
Scale spend on winning channels while maintaining strict CAC discipline
Work closely with internal performance, creative, and data teams to build, test, and optimize campaigns
Analyze partner performance to surface insights and opportunities for efficiency, volume, and incremental lift
Build repeatable playbooks that turn DSPs into durable, scalable acquisition channels
Maintain clear accountability to volume, efficiency, and overall growth impact
What You Bring
3–5 years of experience in performance marketing, growth, paid acquisition, or partnership-driven user acquisition
Hands-on experience working with DSPs, affiliate platforms, or performance media partners
Strong analytical instincts and comfort operating against CAC and ROI targets
Experience launching new channels or partnerships from zero to scale
Ability to own work end-to-end, from negotiation and testing through optimization and scaling
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, especially with performance, creative, and data teams
A scrappy, execution-first mindset with a bias toward speed, experimentation, and measurable impact
