Job description

ABOUT POLYMARKET Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future. We're growing quickly, both in terms of volume ($115B traded to date) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire. ABOUT THE ROLE Polymarket is looking for a Senior Financial Data Analyst to sit between our finance team and our data warehouse. You'll build and own the reporting layer that finance runs on, turning raw platform, on- and off-chain trading activity, and general ledger data into clean, reconciled financial reporting that people can trust without checking it by hand first. The other half of the role is analytical. You'll be the person who understands how fees, incentives, and promotions actually flow through to revenue and retention, including what a promotion cost, what it returned, and whether the traders it brought in stayed. And you'll do it in a fast-moving environment where new products and incentive structures launch constantly.
