About the role

As 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.

Responsibilities

• Own company-wide financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting, including revenue, headcount, and operating expense models

• 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

Requirements

• 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

About Kalshi

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. We allow people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the U.S. for the first time in history. We are currently the fastest-growing financial market in America, with thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture, and more. We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position.

Our vision is to build the largest financial market on the planet. Our mission is to bring more truth to the world through the power of markets. Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb.
