Location: Remote (International Preferred)

THE ROLE

We’re hiring a Market Lead to shape, curate, and safeguard the backbone of Polymarket’s markets. You’ll decide what to launch and when, craft precise and innovative rulesets, and ensure our markets are always clear, fair, and dispute-proof. You’ll work across research, market ops, and product to keep our coverage timely, relevant, and high-quality — from spotting the next big thing online to drafting bulletproof rules that keep traders confident.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own coverage: Ensure we’re covering the right topics at the right time across politics, crypto, sports, current events, and culture.
• Invent rulesets: Draft precise, innovative criteria for new market types and edge-case scenarios.
• Prioritize new markets: Decide what to launch and when to maximize relevance and engagement.
• Curate & clarify: Continuously tighten wording on live markets, publish clarifications, and prevent “vibe-cucks.”
• Audit resolutions: Review resolved markets for consistency, source integrity, and adherence to rule spirit.
• Build pipelines: Turn raw events into recurring, scalable market categories.
• Monitor the internet: Track trends, bubbling stories, and key events to ensure Polymarket stays first to what matters.
• Build playbooks: Systematize best practices for rule drafting, dispute handling, and post-mortems.
• Monitor industry standards: Track regulatory guidance and peer platforms to keep Polymarket ahead of compliance risk.
• Experiment: Pilot new formats and market types to push the frontier.
