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 fast — both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) 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 an Executive Assistant to support our Legal team. You'll work directly with the Chief Legal Officer and Deputy CLO, keeping a busy, fast-moving legal function running smoothly — managing complex calendars, coordinating travel, and handling the administrative details that keep the team focused on high-priority work.

This role is well suited to someone with prior experience in a law firm environment or a recent graduate with an interest in law. You'll be embedded in the Legal team's day-to-day, exposed to a broad range of legal and regulatory work, and trusted with sensitive information from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Manage complex, heavily overlapping calendars for the CLO and Deputy CLO — anticipating conflicts, prioritizing effectively, and keeping schedules airtight

  • Coordinate all travel logistics including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and itineraries for periodic travel related to hearings and conferences

  • Track and maintain deadlines including lobbyist registration renewals and continuing legal education requirements

  • Monitor and manage incoming mail and email, flagging time-sensitive items and routing correspondence appropriately

  • Support the broader Legal team with administrative tasks including filing, document organization, and deadline tracking

  • Serve as a reliable point of contact for internal and external stakeholders on behalf of the Legal team

What We're Looking For

  • Meticulous attention to detail — you catch the small things before they become big problems

  • Calm under pressure with the ability to manage multiple calendars and competing priorities simultaneously

  • Absolute discretion — you'll be trusted with privileged and confidential materials as a core part of this role

  • Clear, professional written and verbal communication

  • Proactive and organized with a low-ego, no-task-too-small attitude

  • (Plus) Prior experience at a law firm as a legal secretary, legal assistant, or in an administrative support role

  • (Plus) Familiarity with regulatory or compliance tracking (lobbyist registrations, CLE deadlines, or similar)

Benefits

  • Competitive salary & equity

  • Unlimited PTO

  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage

  • 401k match

  • Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories

  • Meticulous attention to detail
  • Calm under pressure
  • Absolute discretion
