• Draft and refine materials for partner pitches and internal investment memos.

• Collaborate with legal, product, tech and marketing to operationalize approved deals.

• Surface insights and trends from data to guide BD strategy and prioritization.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or corporate development. Banking is ideal.

• Proven analytical and financial modeling skills with strong attention to detail.

• Experience translating financial or market data into actionable business insights.

• Advanced Excel / Google Sheets skills; familiarity with SQL or BI tools is a plus.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, able to turn analysis into clear narratives.

• Strong understanding of deal structures, valuation, and partnership economics.

• High agency operator who thrives in fast paced, ambiguous environments.

• A genuine interest in crypto, fintech, or markets; curiosity about the Polymarket mission.
