What is Kalshi?



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.




Role Roadmap



As the FP&A Lead at Kalshi, you'll build and own the financial planning and analysis function as we scale. You'll be the person who turns the numbers into a clear story - helping leadership understand where the business stands, where it's headed, and what decisions will get us there faster. You'll build the models, own the forecast, and partner directly with leadership across the company to drive smarter, faster decision-making.




What You'll Do

• Own company-wide financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, including revenue, headcount, and operating expense models


• Build and maintain financial models that reflect the realities of a fast-growing, fast-moving business


• Partner directly with the executive team and department leads to translate financial analysis into clear, actionable recommendations


• Lead the monthly and quarterly close-to-reporting cycle, including variance analysis and performance reporting against budget and forecast


• Develop dashboards and reporting tools that give leadership real-time visibility into the health of the business


• Analyze new initiatives, pricing decisions, and growth opportunities to inform strategic and operational decisions


• Support fundraising, board reporting, and investor relations with clear, well-organized financial materials


• Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, systems, and reporting infrastructure as the company scales


• Manage and mentor other members of the finance team as the function grows

What You Bring

• 8+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or a related field, with meaningful FP&A ownership


• Strong financial modeling skills and a track record of building models from scratch that hold up as a business scales


• Excellent analytical skills - able to move from raw data to a clear recommendation quickly


• Experience partnering directly with senior leadership and communicating financial concepts to non-finance audiences


• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with limited process and a lot of ambiguity


• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; experience with financial planning or BI tools (e.g., Adaptive Insights, Looker, Tableau) is a plus


• High attention to detail and a strong sense of ownership over accuracy and data integrity


• Experience managing or mentoring other finance team members is a plus


• Familiarity with prediction markets, trading, fintech, or crypto is a plus
