About the Role

We're hiring a Sales Associate to drive outbound and inbound pipeline for our prediction-markets and crypto-exchange-infrastructure business.

You'll own the top of the sales funnel: identifying operators building prediction-market and exchange products, running outbound sequences, qualifying inbound leads, and booking meetings for senior sales.

• Default fluency with AI tools as part of how you work Claude, ChatGPT, Apollo, n8n, or similar.
• Sharp written communication you can write a cold email that gets a reply, not just an open.

• Crypto-native you've used a wallet, you follow CT, and you can explain why Polymarket and Kalshi compete.
• Familiarity with a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce) or GTM tooling like Apollo.
• You've built and shipped something publicly an outbound sequence engine, a scraper, an agent.

Why Join Shift?

• Help build the go-to-market motion for one of the most important infrastructure layers in crypto and prediction markets.
• Work directly with senior operators you'll be in the rooms where deals get done.
• Real ownership from day one. Small team, fast cycles, clear runway to a full-cycle sales seat.
