Senior Product Manager

Polymarket Polymarket · Fintech · New York, NY · Product

Senior Product Manager to own product outcomes across one or more areas of Polymarket's prediction market platform. This role requires strong product instincts, operational rigor, and the ability to drive clarity, align teams, and ship impactful products. The PM will work closely with engineering, design, and data, be close to the data and users, and define product vision, strategy, and roadmap.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own your product area. Define the vision, strategy, and roadmap for your domain and take accountability for the outcomes, not just the outputs.
  2. Drive execution. Turn strategy into clearly scoped, well-prioritized work. Keep projects moving, remove blockers, and make sure the team always knows what they're working toward and why.
  3. Get close to the data. Use quantitative and qualitative signals to understand how users are behaving, where the product is falling short, and what the highest-leverage opportunities are.
  4. Work closely with engineering and design. Partner with engineers and designers from early discovery through launch, bringing the right context and making fast, well-reasoned decisions along the way.
  5. Communicate clearly across the company. Keep stakeholders aligned, surface tradeoffs early, and make sure the right people have the right information at the right time.
