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

The Growth team owns how Polymarket acquires users and converts attention into volume. We move fast, spend real money across a range of channels and geographies, and hold ourselves to business outcomes — not vanity metrics. The media investment function sits at the center of that, and right now it needs someone who can build the analytical backbone that makes every dollar accountable.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years in media planning, marketing analytics, or growth strategy with real ownership of plans and numbers — not just supporting roles
  • Deep fluency across paid channels including search, social, programmatic, video, audio, and offline, sufficient to pressure test a buyer's recommendation on the substance
  • Strong quantitative foundation in forecasting and scenario modeling, strong SQL and comfort in BI tooling — you build your own analysis rather than waiting for someone else to pull the data
  • Hands-on experience with mix modeling, incrementality testing, and geographic experiments, and the intellectual honesty to be clear about what each method can and cannot tell you
  • Financial rigor and comfort owning a number that has to tie out, including reconciliation, accruals, and working directly with finance through monthly close
  • Demonstrated ability to compress a complex analysis into a one-page recommendation an executive can act on in five minutes, with a track record of recommendations getting adopted because they are consistently well-built
