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 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 a freelance Junior Designer to own ad creative at the intersection of performance marketing and brand. You'll ship creative across social and programmatic and support the wider design team on the decks, templates, and digital assets behind everything Polymarket puts into the world. This is a high-output role: you'll produce dozens of creative variants a week, see them through to launch, and keep the bar high across every asset that ships.

This is a freelance engagement based out of our NYC office, with the expectation of regular in-person collaboration 3–5 days each week.

What You'll Do
  • Design and ship static, motion, and short-form video ads across paid social, display, and emerging channels

  • Iterate quickly on creative concepts based on what's working, and see assets through from brief to launch

  • Build and maintain creative templates and systems that help the team move at volume without losing quality or brand integrity

  • Turn real-time market moments and news into ad creative within hours

  • Partner with growth marketers, copywriters, and brand designers to test hooks, formats, and angles

  • Keep a pulse on what's happening culturally and bring fresh references back to the team

What We're Looking For
  • 1–3 years of design experience (in-house, agency, or freelance) with a portfolio showing shipped work at volume — paid social, motion, or performance-led design strongly preferred

  • Fluent in Figma and confident in After Effects, Premiere, or CapCut (or equivalent motion tools)

  • Understand performance marketing well enough to talk shop with growth marketers — you know what a hook is, why a thumb-stop matters, and how creative drives CAC

  • Move fast, take feedback well, and don't get precious about work that needs to be tested, killed, or remade

  • Strong opinions about craft but stronger instincts about what converts

  • NYC-based and available to work 3–5 days out of our office with consistent weekly hours and quick turnarounds

  • (Plus) Interest in prediction markets, politics, finance, or internet culture

Compensation
  • Competitive hourly or project-based rate, commensurate with experience

  • This is a freelance/contract engagement — benefits such as health insurance and 401k are not included

Skills Required

  • 1-3 years of design experience (in-house, agency, or freelance) with a portfolio showing shipped work at volume
  • Experience with paid social, motion, or performance-led design
  • Fluent in Figma
  • Confident in After Effects, Premiere, or CapCut (or equivalent motion tools)
  • Understanding of performance marketing and how creative impacts CAC and conversion
  • Ability to move fast, take feedback, produce dozens of creative variants weekly, and meet quick turnarounds
  • NYC-based and available to work 3-5 days per week in the office with consistent weekly hours
  • Interest in prediction markets, politics, finance, or internet culture
