Polymarket is the world’s largest prediction market, allowing you to stay informed and profit from your knowledge by trading on future events across various topics. Backed by General Catalyst and Founders Fund.
About the role
Polymarket's Finance team is small, moves fast, and owns a lot. We're building the financial infrastructure that supports a company scaling at an unusual pace, and payroll is a critical part of that foundation. This role reports directly to the Controller and sits at the center of a cross-functional web connecting HR, Legal, and Finance.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of progressive payroll or accounting experience, with direct ownership of multi-state payroll and tax compliance
- Hands-on experience at a high-growth tech startup or private company where processes were still being built, not just followed
- Deep familiarity with modern payroll systems — hands-on experience with Rippling or Deel specifically is strongly preferred
- Demonstrated ability to process payroll with zero material errors across complex comp structures, including bonuses, commissions, and equity
- Strong working knowledge of federal, state, and local payroll tax requirements, including withholding, remittance, and filing obligations
- Track record of building trusted working relationships with HR, Legal, and Finance to align on headcount events and comp changes without handoff failures
