About the Role
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.
We’re hiring a Strategic Finance team member to help build the financial backbone of Kalshi. In this role, you’ll own forecasting, modeling, cash management, investor reporting, and cross-functional planning. You’ll work across teams to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that help leadership make high-impact decisions for 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, model cleanly, and collaborate effectively.

Analyze business performance and key metrics across revenue, expenses, and margins

Translate complex financial data into clear, compelling narratives for external stakeholders
Cash Management & Planning

Market & Competitive Analysis

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
Comfort owning and building financial models end-to-end, from assumptions to insights
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn data into action
Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills (SQL or BI tools a plus)
Preferred experience in investment banking, management consulting, or private equity
Clear, structured communicator who can collaborate across technical, operational, and leadership teams
Self-starter with curiosity, discipline, and a builder’s mindset. You like creating systems that actually work
Strong sense of ownership and accountability
Ability to thrive in an unstructured, fast-paced startup environment
Salary Range: $140,000 to $220,000 annually plus equity and benefits.
