Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future.

Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.

- •Design and ship static, motion, and short-form video ads across paid social, display, and emerging channels
- •Iterate quickly on creative concepts based on what's working, and see assets through from brief to launch
- •Build and maintain creative templates and systems that help the team move at volume without losing quality or brand integrity
- •Turn real-time market moments and news into ad creative within hours
- •Partner with growth marketers, copywriters, and brand designers to test hooks, formats, and angles

- •Understand performance marketing well enough to talk shop with growth marketers — you know what a hook is, why a thumb-stop matters, and how creative drives CAC
- •Move fast, take feedback well, and don't get precious about work that needs to be tested, killed, or remade
- •Strong opinions about craft but stronger instincts about what converts
- •NYC-based and available to work 3–5 days out of our office with consistent weekly hours and quick turnarounds
- •(Plus) Interest in prediction markets, politics, finance, or internet culture
