About Polymarket

Polymarket is the world’s leading prediction markets platform. We help people understand the future by letting them trade on real-world events — from political elections to sports outcomes to crypto launches and more.

We're building a new kind of newsroom — fast, factual, and financially incentivized. Now we’re looking for vertical experts who can own entire domains and make sure Polymarket is always first to cover what matters.

The Role

We’re hiring Vertical Market Leads — domain experts who will pitch, write, and maintain markets in a specific area (e.g. Pop Culture, Tech, Business, etc.)

You’ll be responsible for identifying what’s important, launching markets with clarity and speed, and owning the performance of your vertical. You’ll ensure the markets you write are relevant, accurate, and high quality.

What You'll Do

• Pitch your vertical: Why it matters, who trades it, what the roadmap looks like
  

• Write markets: Draft clear, tight, and tradable market questions + descriptions
  

• Stay ahead of trends: Be the first to know what’s happening in your domain
  

• Maintain market quality: Monitor resolution criteria, edge cases, and timing
  

• Collaborate with the core team: Flag needs, improvements, and ideas for growth
  

• Track performance: Help define metrics like volume, coverage, and user engagement in your vertical
  

What We're Looking For

• Deep expertise in your domain: You follow the stories, stats, and subreddits
  

• Strong technical writing: You can write clean, airtight, and neutral markets
  

• High agency: You don’t wait to be told what to cover — you bring the heat
  

• Attention to detail: You know a market lives or dies by how it’s worded
  

• Speed + judgment: You can ship fast and get it right
  

Nice-to-Haves

• Previous experience in prediction markets, sports betting, or financial platforms
  

• Experience in fast-paced editorial, research, or analysis roles
  

• Ability to write or automate small tools to track news, results, or stats
  

• Familiarity with Polymarket or a strong personal trading history
  

How to Apply

Send us:

1. A short pitch on the vertical you want to own
   

   • Why it matters now
     

   • Sample roadmap of markets you'd launch over the next 2–4 weeks
     

2. 2–3 example market questions you’ve written
   

3. Any relevant writing, work, or side projects you want to show off
   

Why This Is Cool

• You’ll build and run your own domain inside a frontier product
  

• You’ll help shape the future of information and market-based truth
  

• You’ll get exposure, influence, and upside in a rapidly growing ecosystem
