Role RoadmapAs 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
