Role RoadmapWe're looking for an ambitious, relentless operator to build and scale our YouTube and podcast creator partnerships.
This is not a traditional influencer marketing role. Your job is to identify the creators who shape conversations around sports, politics, finance, and culture, convince them to partner with Kalshi, negotiate high-performing deals, and continuously improve the efficiency of our creator portfolio.
In the near term, you'll sprint to make Kalshi unavoidable during the NFL season and the U.S. midterm elections. Longer term, you'll help build the largest creator partnership network across sports, news, and culture.
We want someone energized by cold outreach, who loves negotiating, enjoys finding hidden opportunities before anyone else, and measures success in results.
What You'll Do- Source and recruit YouTube creators and podcasts across sports, politics, news, finance, and culture
- Conduct high-volume outbound outreach to creators, agents, and management teams
- Negotiate sponsorships, integrations, and long-term creator partnerships
- Evaluate partnership opportunities based on audience quality, economics, and customer acquisition potential
- Own relationships with creators from first outreach through execution and renewal
- Constantly test new categories, formats, and creators to improve performance.
- Build systems to scale creator sourcing and outreach as Kalshi's partnership program grows
- Work closely with Growth, Brand, Creative, and Partnership teams to maximize campaign performance
What You Bring- Passion for sports, politics, media, internet culture, or financial markets
- Exceptional work ethic and persistence - you aren't intimidated by sending thousands of outreach messages if that's what it takes
- Strong negotiation skills and sound business judgment
- Highly organized with the ability to manage hundreds of simultaneous conversations
- Comfortable operating with ambitious goals and little structure
- Excited to own outcomes rather than simply execute tasks
- Experience buying or managing YouTube sponsorships or creator partnerships
- Background in influencer marketing, media buying, talent partnerships, creator economy, or business development
NYC Pay Transparency DisclosureSalary Range: $150,000 to $250,000 annually plus equity and benefits.

Kalshi has minimal hierarchy and few titles, but has broad ranges of experience represented within roles. Should you have compensation expectations that exceed these bands, we'd love to hear from you and would welcome you to reach out to further discuss.
