What we're up to
Kalshi is the first and only federally regulated exchange where people can trade on any event. Think like the NYSE, but instead of trading stocks, you trade on the events you know and care about. Kalshi has more than 500 markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more.
After three years of regulatory struggle, Kalshi's historic regulatory approval from the CFTC has allowed it to launch a new asset class: event contracts. Event contracts, the fastest-growing asset class today, are elegant financial instruments structured as simple yes/no questions about the future.
Kalshi's vision is to build the next-generation financial ecosystem for trading what we believe will be the largest asset class of all. Kalshi's vision is bold. We're on a long journey in uncharted territories. We are looking for passionate and outlier members excited to embark on this voyage toward building the financial system's next inflection point.
Role Roadmap
As a Product Manager, you will play a pivotal role in defining, designing, and delivering new and enhanced product features. This role will be centered around increasing retention and user engagement on the Kalshi platform.
You will be…
- Customer Understanding: Dive deep into understanding user needs, pain points, and behaviors through research, interviews, surveys, and data analysis.
- Question Asking and Answering: Help coming up with what are the right questions we should be asking to improve our product, and digging deep to find answers.
- Product Design and Development: Propose new product features then work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, engineering, marketing, and customer support, to ensure successful product development and launch.
- Requirements Definition: Write detailed product requirement documents or user stories that provide clear instructions and context for designers and engineers to work from.
- Feature Prioritization: Determine which features or improvements should be developed based on the potential value to the user and the business, effort required, resources available, and alignment with the product strategy.
The rest of what the role looks like is up to you - a big part of our approach is that you get to chart your path as we grow and evolve. There's a lot of green field to conquer, we trust that you'll make a lot of it your own :)
