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.
What they're looking for
- 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
- A bias toward action and ownership in ambiguous environments
- Exceptional organizational and execution ability
- Comfort operating at high velocity (9am–9pm culture)
More about this role
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.
