Responsibilities

Work with the Markets team on new markets from the start: contract terms, settlement sources, and resolution criteria
Work with our compliance, fraud, surveillance, and market operations teams to design the infrastructure to build and surveil event contracts, futures, and perpetuals.
Draft and own 40.2 and 40.6 filing packages that hold up to CFTC review under the CEA and DCM Core Principles
Own filings for fees and incentive programs and understand how each affects liquidity and trading
Run the compliance-review gate
SLead high-stakes regulatory strategy and represent Polymarket US in complex negotiations with CFTC Division of Market Oversight (DMO) and Division of Clearing and Risk (DCR) staff, defending novel contract structures and preempting formal stays or disapprovals (e.g., Part 40.11 reviews)
Track listings and filings across the industry and flag what matters for us and why
Keep templates and the filing catalog current, and use AI and automation to speed up drafting, review, and the filing pipeline
-Architect the regulatory pathways for first-of-their-kind products—including event contracts, crypto derivatives, and perpetuals—translating ambiguous or evolving CEA interpretations into scalable, defensible market frameworks.
-Partner directly with Executive Leadership, Product, and Legal to evaluate commercial trade-offs, advise on regulatory risk appetite for high-profile markets, and inform long-term exchange roadmap decisions.
