People Programs

About the Role

The People team at Polymarket is small and operates with high autonomy. There's no bureaucracy to hide behind and no army of coordinators to delegate to. The team owns the full employee experience and is expected to build things that actually work, not just check boxes.

This role owns the programs that shape how employees experience Polymarket from day one to last day. That means onboarding, offboarding, recognition, engagement surveys, culture events, manager development, and everything in between. You'll partner closely with Workplace on the shared culture and engagement calendar, manage vendors and budgets, and report on impact to leadership. The scope is wide by design.

We're hiring for this role because we're at the stage where ad hoc people programs stop working. Things need to be repeatable, measurable, and built to scale. If you've spent years building people programs end-to-end at fast-moving companies and you know what good looks like, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do

Owns the employee lifecycle experience — onboarding, offboarding, and exit process — designing programs that scale as headcount grows, not just executing steps Leads culture and engagement programming (onsites/offsites, biweekly events, recognition, ERGs) in partnership with Workplace, owning the shared calendar end-to-end Designs and runs the engagement survey, pulse checks, and quarterly listening tours, translating results into program changes Builds manager-facing infrastructure — development survey, self-service tools, feedback cycle facilitation — that reduces manager reliance on People Team for routine needs Turns ad hoc programs (swag, conference perks) into repeatable, budgeted processes with clear ownership and cadence Manages vendor relationships and budget across events, swag, and conferences, and reports on program impact to leadership Runs the internship program independently, from design through execution
