Marketing Activation

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 creative, scrappy, and execution-obsessed Marketing Activation team member to help bring Kalshi’s brand to life. This role sits at the intersection of content, partnerships, and experiential marketing; you’ll dream up concepts, build attention-grabbing activations, and execute across everything from a 20-person pop-up to a citywide stunt.

If you’re the kind of person who can turn a half-formed idea into a fully formed activation, thrives in ambiguity, and loves taking swings big and small, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

Brand Activations & Creative Execution

• Brainstorm, pitch, and produce high-impact marketing activations that introduce Kalshi to new audiences in surprising and delightful ways

• Help bring partnerships to life through creative deliverables, on-site experiences, social content moments, and bespoke stunts

• Turn ideas into reality by owning logistics, timelines, procurement, and on-site execution.

• Bring a content-first mindset: capture activations in a way that fuels social, PR, and brand storytelling

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Brand, Growth, Partnerships, Product, and Exec teams to align on goals and execute flawlessly

• Manage ongoing communication with stakeholders at all levels — proactively surfacing updates, risks, and needs

• Coordinate with internal teams, agencies, fabrication shops, creators, and vendors to bring ideas to life

Events & Vendor Management

• Plan and execute events end-to-end, ensuring every detail (big and small) matches Kalshi’s quality bar

• Manage venue relationships, negotiate with vendors, and ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget

• Push for operational excellence across all marketing activations

Creative Inspiration & Trend Spotting

• Track cultural, social, and creator trends to generate novel ideas that make Kalshi impossible to ignore

• Champion experimentation: identify opportunities for us to show up where no financial platform has before

What You Bring

• 2–6+ years in brand activations, experiential marketing, creative production, or adjacent fields (agency or in-house)

• A portfolio or examples of IRL experiences, activations, stunts, or campaigns you helped build

• Proven ability to juggle multiple projects, manage vendors, and keep cross-functional partners aligned

• Comfort navigating ambiguous asks, building structure, and turning creative concepts into executed reality

• Strong communication skills, especially with executives, external partners, and vendors.

• A scrappy, experiment-driven mindset: no task too small, no idea too big
