## 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.

- 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)
