About the role

Polymarket sits at the intersection of information markets, crypto, and traditional derivatives - and the regulatory environment is actively evolving.
As Head of Product, Legal, you will be the person who keeps us moving fast without stepping on landmines.
It's a hybrid role built for someone who thinks in product terms and happens to have deep legal fluency.

Translate legal and compliance constraints into specific product requirements that engineering can build to, without requiring lawyers in every sprint.
Contribute to the overall product roadmap by flagging regulatory risk early and helping prioritize what we build and in what order.
Work directly with product managers and engineers to embed legal thinking into the design process from the start, not as a final review gate.
Build internal frameworks and guidelines that let the team move faster by making common legal questions answerable without escalation.

You have practiced law and understand how to construct a legal argument, not just summarize one.
8 or more years of experience at the intersection of legal and product, either in-house at a tech or crypto company or in a regulatory advisory role where you were embedded with a product team.
You know how regulators think and what they look for.
Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment.
You have worked at or with world-class product teams, understand the full surface of a consumer product, and can think in terms of user flows and tradeoffs.

(Plus) Direct experience with CFTC regulation or derivatives compliance.
If you've dealt with prediction markets, swaps, or event contracts specifically, that's a meaningful edge.
