About the role
What We're Up To Kalshi has built the first federally regulated financial exchange that lets people trade on the outcome of real-world events — from elections and inflation to sports and entertainment. In just the past year, over 1 million people have signed up, with more than $3 billion in trades on the platform.
We recently closed our Series C and are now available to trade directly on Robinhood, marking a major step toward bringing event-based markets to the mainstream.
We’re on a mission to let people capitalize on their opinions and hedge risks tied to everyday life - and we’re just getting started. The road ahead is ambitious, uncharted, and transformative. We’re looking for passionate, outlier team members who want to help reshape the future of the financial system.
The Role: Talent Lead Build the team building the future of financial markets
Kalshi is looking for a Talent Lead to take full ownership of our hiring and organizational growth during a period of hyper-growth. You’ll work closely with the founders to define and execute our talent strategy, help shape the org structure, and build out the entire company - starting with sourcing, evaluating, and closing world-class talent across all functions.
This isn’t a typical recruiting role. You’ll be a strategic partner in the company’s most important decisions: who we hire, when, and how we scale. You’ll create a high-caliber candidate experience, craft compelling narratives about Kalshi’s mission, and relentlessly pursue top performers. You’ll be the driving force behind the people function that accelerates Kalshi’s next stage of growth.
Your Responsibilities
- Work closely with the founders on talent priorities, team design, and long-term org planning
- Own the full hiring lifecycle: partner with hiring managers to scope roles, source creatively, screen, and close candidates
- Build systems and processes that scale as we grow from a lean team to a large organization
