The posting

ABOUT BASIC CAPITAL

Basic Capital is building the Robinhood of 401(k)s — a modern retirement platform that gives everyday workers access to the full investment universe, including stocks, crypto, private equity, and venture capital, alongside a first-of-its-kind “Retirement Mortgage” product that enables leveraged investing.

We are operating in a $10T market that has seen little innovation in over 40 years. Since launching just over a year ago, we’ve achieved 30% month-over-month growth, scaled rapidly, and raised a $25M Series A at a $110M valuation.

Our investors include Bill Ackman, Lux Capital, Forerunner Ventures (Kirsten Green), Henry Kravis, SV Angel, and Ron Conway — a group that reflects conviction in building a category-defining financial platform.

Our team includes talent from Goldman Sachs, Robinhood, Stripe, Uber, and top universities. Based in Tribeca, NYC, we are a high-intensity, high-performance team committed to reshaping retirement and expanding access to wealth.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Basic Capital is hiring a Chief of Staff to operate as the right hand to the CEO, Abdul Al-Asaad.

This is not a traditional strategic role. It is an execution-first position designed to serve as the operational backbone behind a founder operating at extreme velocity across fundraising, regulatory affairs, and institutional partnerships.

The CEO opens doors — with partners like Coinbase, Apollo, and government stakeholders. This role ensures those opportunities are captured, executed, and closed.

You will sit beside the CEO in every critical moment: meetings, inbox, calendar, and decision-making flow. Your mandate is simple: ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a high-exposure role with direct access to top-tier investors, regulators, and industry leaders. Over time, for the right person, this role can evolve into a President-level position.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Own CEO Execution Infrastructure

Attend all major meetings and capture detailed notes and action items Drive all follow-ups, ensuring every opportunity progresses post-meeting Manage CEO inbox to zero — triage, draft responses, and prioritize Build and maintain daily execution plans and weekly planning cadence Handle scheduling, logistics, and communications without prompting

Drive Critical Business Operations

Coordinate Series B fundraising, including diligence, documentation, and investor communication Manage strategic partnership execution (Coinbase-level deals) Support regulatory workflows across DOL, SEC, and government stakeholders Build systems to ensure opportunities are consistently captured and converted

Enable Company-Level Outcomes

Support credit facility raises (hundreds of millions in scale) Work cross-functionally with CTO, Growth, Operations, and Legal Help establish repeatable execution infrastructure across the company Ensure CEO time is focused only on highest-leverage activities

WHO YOU ARE

You are a high-functioning operator with strong executive instincts and low ego. You thrive in high-intensity environments and take pride in flawless execution.

You anticipate needs before they are stated. You are equally comfortable in elite rooms and executing immediately afterward.

You care deeply about follow-through, not just ideas.

You have: A bias toward action and ownership in ambiguous environments Exceptional organizational and execution ability Comfort operating at high velocity (9am–9pm culture) Strong judgment, discretion, and professionalism Ability to engage credibly with senior stakeholders across finance, tech, and government

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Requirements

4–8 years of experience Investment banking experience (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, or equivalent; FIG, LevFin, or similar) Post-banking operating experience (Chief of Staff, BizOps, Growth, or founding team) Background in Financial Services or B2B environments Strong executive function and organizational systems thinking Willingness to handle both strategic and administrative responsibilities without ego Ability to operate in a high-intensity, founder-led environment

Bonus Points

Prior Chief of Staff experience at a scaling company Fintech or regulated industry experience Experience supporting senior executives or founders Top-tier academic background

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (6–12 MONTHS)

CEO inbox consistently at zero Weekly planning cadence fully systematized Strategic deals consistently progress and close post-handshake Series B ($50M) executed cleanly and efficiently Major partnerships (e.g., Coinbase-level) successfully closed Execution infrastructure built to prevent opportunity loss CEO fully focused on highest-leverage activities

WHY THIS ROLE IS UNIQUE

Massive Market Opportunity You are joining a company redefining retirement in a $10T market.

Compelling Equity Upside Join before Series B (~$300M valuation) with equity priced at Series A ($110M).

Unmatched Exposure Work directly on regulatory affairs, fundraising, and institutional deals at the highest level.

Founder Leverage Operate alongside a high-caliber founder with deep networks across finance, tech, and government.

Career Trajectory This role can evolve into a President-level position for the right operator.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
