About The Position

Kalshi has defined a new category: prediction markets. Kalshi allows people to trade on the outcome of any events and turn any question about the future into a financial asset. Kalshi fought for years and legalized prediction markets in the US for the first time in history, is currently the fastest growing financial market in America, and has thousands of markets across politics, economics, financials, weather, tech, AI, culture and more. We believe prediction markets have the potential to be the largest financial market because they turn anything into a financial position. Our vision: well… build the largest financial market on the planet. Our mission: bring more truth to the world through the power of markets. Our culture is simple: we hire really talented people, work really hard, and enjoy the climb. We are looking for ambitious and exceptional people to join our (relatively small) team to help us build the next generation of financial markets. Kalshi is looking for a relentless, execution-first Influencer Operations hire focused on sourcing and activating creators at scale. This is a high-intensity role. You’ll spend a significant portion of your time identifying creators on social media, reaching out, negotiating, and closing partnerships. Your job is to turn outreach into live campaigns - quickly and repeatedly. You’ll be responsible for building a pipeline of creators, activating them into partnerships, and turning that motion into a repeatable growth engine. Success in this role comes from speed, persistence, strong instincts for talent, and the ability to get deals done. If you’re someone who enjoys the grind of outbound, isn’t afraid of rejection, and knows how to turn conversations into partnerships, this role is for you.
