About Polymarket
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. 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.
We're growing fast — both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire.
About the Role
This is an institutional role where you'll work alongside senior coverage to support and own Polymarket's most important client relationships - market makers, trading firms, hedge funds, and other institutional partners. You’ll focus on broader liquidity strategy, market microstructure and working with market makers to grow liquidity at scale in new and existing markets.
You'll be embedded in the day-to-day of institutional coverage: helping onboard new partners, keeping existing relationships healthy, and identifying opportunities to deepen engagement across the book. This role reports directly to the Head of Institutional Liquidity.

- •Monitor market maker performance against quoting requirements, uptime metrics, and market share/ranking benchmarks; deliver accurate, timely monthly performance reporting.

- •Track competitive dynamics to keep Polymarket's market maker economics competitive without over-paying for liquidity.
- •Work with Data and Engineering to build dashboards tracking quoting depth, spread width, and uptime in real time.
What We're Looking For

- •Strong communicator, clear and direct in writing and in person
- •Strong experience with trading, market structure, or financial products — you can hold your own in a technical conversation
- •Self-starter mentality — you identify what needs to get done and do it without waiting to be asked
- •Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, legal, compliance, and operations to get deals across the line
- •Experience at a crypto exchange, digital asset prime broker, or fintech serving institutional clients
- •Familiarity with market making, liquidity provision, or electronic trading
