## About the role

Institutional capital is one of the most important vectors for Polymarket. Market-makers, hedge funds, trading desks, and sophisticated financial players are paying close attention — and we need someone to own the full process of bringing them onto the platform. This role sits within Operations, reports directly to senior leadership, and leads the institutional onboarding function end to end.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of experience in financial services, with meaningful time spent in client onboarding, institutional sales support, or operations at a bank, brokerage, exchange, or fintech
- Deep familiarity with KYC, KYB, and AML processes and the ability to navigate them without constant hand-holding from legal or compliance
- Proven track record of owning a client-facing process end-to-end, not just executing tasks within someone else's system
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple institutional onboardings simultaneously without anything falling through the cracks
- Comfortable working in ambiguity — this role requires building structure where little exists today
- Clear, direct communicator who can represent Polymarket credibly to sophisticated financial counterparties
