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
