Kalshi is defining a new category
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. Kalshi 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.
Building a new category is hard… like really hard. But it's beautiful and deeply fulfilling. 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 sharp and analytical Strategic Finance Lead to help build the financial backbone of Kalshi. You’ll own forecasting, modeling, and cash management, and play a critical role in supporting investor reporting, fundraising, and cross-functional planning.
In this role, you’ll work across teams to translate complex data into clear financial insights, helping leadership make decisions that shape the future of the first regulated event-trading exchange.
We’re open to candidates with varying levels of experience. What matters most is your ability to think critically, build well, and work collaboratively.
Key Responsibilities
Modeling & Forecasting
- Build and maintain detailed financial models for budgets, forecasts, and scenario planning
- Analyze business performance and key metrics across revenue, expenses, and margins
- Partner with product, growth, and operations teams to gather inputs and validate assumptions
Investor & Fundraising Support
- Prepare materials and analyses for investor updates, board meetings, and fundraising rounds
- Translate complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives for external stakeholders
Cash Management & Planning
- Manage cash forecasting and runway analysis to ensure alignment with company growth goals
- Monitor spend against budget and identify opportunities for efficiency
Market & Competitive Analysis
- Conduct research on market trends, competitors, and comparable metrics to inform strategic decisions
- Build models to assess new market opportunities or business lines
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with internal teams to extract, clean, and interpret financial and operational data
- Support finance leadership in building scalable processes for reporting and planning
Qualifications
- Someone who feels comfortable owning and building models end-to-end, from assumptions to insights
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into action.
Solid command of Excel / Google Sheets (SQL or BI tools a plus) - Past experience at top investment bank or management consulting or PE firm is preferred
- Clear communicator who can collaborate across technical, operational, and leadership teams
- A self-starter with curiosity, structure, and a builder’s mindset - you like creating systems that actually work
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability
These are the primary responsibilities of the role - but, at a startup, there’s always more to build. We value ownership, curiosity, and initiative and trust you’ll make a lot of it your own.
NYC Pay Transparency Disclosure
Salary Range: $140,000 to $200,000 annually plus equity and benefits. This salary range is based on the current available market data, and represents the expected salary range for this role. Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and few titles, but has broad ranges of experience represented within roles. Should you have compensation expectations that exceed these bands, we'd love to hear from you and would welcome you to reach out to further discuss.
Our Culture
Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. 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.
Commitment to Equal Opportunity
Kalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission.
