Quick facts
From the original posting
Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet.
We're looking for a sharp, hungry Support Operations Intern to help us deliver exceptional customer experiences during a critical growth period. This role exists to ensure our users get fast, high-quality support so that our core team can focus on building the infrastructure and automation needed for our next phase of scale.
You'll own Tier 1 and Tier 2 support tickets end-to-end - your job is to keep first reply times fast (under 10 minutes, 5 is the goal) and drive up customer satisfaction scores. The 20% of your time that isn't support will be spent synthesizing patterns from inbound tickets and surfacing them upstream to other teams.
This is a near-term role (through Fall), with scope that could grow quickly if you perform.
Handle Tier 1 and Tier 2 support tickets across Intercom, maintaining first reply times under 10 minutes
Keep CSAT and CX scores high through clear, helpful, and accurate responses
Synthesize patterns in inbound support volume and relay signal upstream to operations, product, and engineering
Shadow senior team members on more complex tickets and escalate appropriately
Help maintain and improve internal support resources and pinned documentation
Genuine knowledge of prediction markets - ideally a Kalshi user - and fluency in trading concepts
Grit: you're down to grind, you don't need hand-holding, and you take ownership of your queue
Big-picture thinking paired with an obsession for small details - you understand why things matter, and you don't let things slip
Strong written communication; you can explain complex financial or operational concepts clearly and quickly
Good culture fit - low ego, high output, collaborative
Prior experience in customer support, operations, or a fast-paced startup environment
Familiarity with support tooling (Intercom, Stripe, Plaid, or similar)
Currently enrolled in college
Salary Range: $20-25/hour
