About Polymarket

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 is growing fast and the operational infrastructure hasn't kept pace. This role exists to fix that. You'll sit at the center of the business, working directly with executive leadership to turn strategy into execution across every function. That means owning the planning cycles, the metrics, the cross-functional programs, and the hard conversations about what gets prioritized and what doesn't. This is not a support role. You'll be expected to have opinions, make calls, and drive outcomes. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in BizOps, Strategy and Operations, or a Chief of Staff function, with at least 3 years in a leadership role managing teams or programs at significant scale
  • Demonstrated track record of building cross-functional operating processes from scratch, including planning cycles, business reviews, and metrics infrastructure
  • Strong analytical foundation, including experience with forecasting, unit economics, cohort analysis, and variance analysis against plan, with fluency in SQL or a willingness to get there fast
  • Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs where you had influence but not direct authority over the people doing the work
  • Clear, structured written communication, you can write a tight decision memo or a board slide that doesn't need a verbal explanation to land
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity, you've been handed problems with no existing owner before and know how to scope them before you solve them
