Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.
Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets.
Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets.
Kalshi is looking for someone to own our state-level regulatory and legislative strategy across the Western US. You'll be the person on the ground in your region, building relationships with representatives and regulators, understanding legislative developments, and moving the ball forward in some of our most complex and high-value states. In this role, you'll create the infrastructure, own the relationships, and develop the playbook for how Kalshi operates across CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, WY, AK, and HI.
Own state policy strategy across your region: tracking the legislative calendar, identifying opportunities, and sequencing campaigns
Monitor regulatory developments and identify initiatives that affect Kalshi
Build and maintain relationships with elected and appointed officials, legislative committees, and state agencies to advocate for and educate them about Kalshi's product
Draft and shape policy language
Travel to priority states and be in the room when it matters
Experience working inside state government or an Attorney General's office or running state-level government affairs campaigns, ideally in a novel or contested regulatory environment
Deep familiarity with the political landscape of the Western US: California's regulatory complexity, the Pacific Northwest's legislative dynamics, and the varied politics across mountain and island states (one or all)
Proven ability to manage third parties
Strong instincts on policy language
Willingness to travel across the West (and New York - HQ - on occasion)
Meritocracy is at our core, and we value people who take ownership and figure (usually hard) things out. We dream big. We love our craft deeply and are proud of what we put out in the world. We are committed to our vision of building something big… but also useful: a product that brings more truth through the power of markets.
Kalshians are Kalshi’s most important asset: we pick Kalshians carefully, so we trust them fully on day 1.
Kalshi is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We believe it is our collective responsibility to uphold these values and encourage candidates from all backgrounds to join us in our mission. All qualified applicants will be treated with respect and receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, uniform service, veteran status, age, or any other protected characteristic per federal, state, or local law. If you are passionate about what you do and want to use your talents to support our mission and values, we’d love to hear from you.
