    "About The Role"

    About This Role

    Polymarket processed $21B in trading volume in 2025, built entirely on a peer-to-peer, non-custodial infrastructure powered by smart contracts. As we scale toward becoming the world's go-to source for market-based truth, we need someone who can own the relationships that keep our order books deep, tight, and competitive. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of distributed ledger technology, institutional trading, and crypto-native market making — reporting directly to our Head of Institutional Liquidity.

    What You'll Be Doing

    Own end-to-end coverage of market maker and institutional partnerships — from outreach and onboarding through ongoing relationship management

    Identify and onboard new liquidity providers spanning crypto-native prop shops, HFT firms, and TradFi desks entering the web3 trading space

    Represent Polymarket at industry conferences and client meetings, championing our decentralized marketplace model

    Translate client feedback into actionable insights for product and market structure teams

    Monitor quoting performance, uptime, and market share against benchmarks, delivering sharp monthly reporting

    Design incentive structures that reward genuine liquidity depth in high-volume markets rather than token coverage of illiquid ones

    Partner with Data and Engineering to build real-time dashboards tracking spread, depth, and quoting performance

    What We're Looking For

    7+ years in client-facing financial services — prime brokerage, institutional sales, trading ops, or capital markets

    Fluency in how market makers and institutional trading desks operate within electronic and decentralized markets

    Proven ownership mentality — ready to run your own book from day one

    Sharp, direct communicator across written and verbal channels

    Solid grounding in trading, market microstructure, or crypto financial products

    Cross-functional collaborator comfortable working with legal, compliance, product, and operations

    Bonus Points

    Experience at a crypto exchange, digital asset prime broker, or fintech serving institutional clients

    Hands-on familiarity with market making, liquidity provisioning, or algorithmic/electronic trading

    Understanding of prediction markets, information markets, or alternative data ecosystems

    Experience navigating institutional onboarding alongside legal and compliance teams

    Why Join Us

    Competitive salary plus equity in a category-defining blockchain company

    Unlimited PTO and a culture built on trust and autonomy

    Full health, vision, and dental coverage

    401k match and premium hardware — new MacBook Pro, monitor, and accessories to power your work in the decentralized economy
