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.\nOur 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.\nOur 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.\nAbout the Role\nBasic Capital is hiring a Chief of Staff to operate as the right hand to the CEO, Abdul Al-Asaad.\nThis 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.\nThe CEO opens doors - with partners like Coinbase, Apollo, and government stakeholders. This role ensures those opportunities are captured, executed, and closed.\nYou 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.\nThis 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.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn CEO Execution Infrastructure\nAttend all major meetings and capture detailed notes and action items\nDrive all follow-ups, ensuring every opportunity progresses post-meeting\nManage CEO inbox to zero - triage, draft responses, and prioritize\nBuild and maintain daily execution plans and weekly planning cadence\nHandle scheduling, logistics, and communications without prompting\nDrive Critical Business Operations\nCoordinate Series B fundraising, including diligence, documentation, and investor communication\nManage strategic partnership execution (Coinbase-level deals)\nSupport regulatory workflows across DOL, SEC, and government stakeholders\nBuild systems to ensure opportunities are consistently captured and converted\nEnable Company-Level Outcomes\nSupport credit facility raises (hundreds of millions in scale)\nWork cross-functionally with CTO, Growth, Operations, and Legal\nHelp establish repeatable execution infrastructure across the company\nEnsure CEO time is focused only on highest-leverage activities\nWho You Are\nYou are a high-functioning operator with strong executive instincts and low ego. You thrive in high-intensity environments and take pride in flawless execution.\nYou anticipate needs before they are stated. You are equally comfortable in elite rooms and executing immediately afterward.\nYou care deeply about follow-through, not just ideas.\nYou have:\nA bias toward action and ownership in ambiguous environments\nExceptional organizational and execution ability\nComfort operating at high velocity (9am-9pm culture)\nStrong judgment, discretion, and professionalism\nAbility to engage credibly with senior stakeholders across finance, tech, and government\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequirements\n4-8 years of experience\nInvestment banking experience (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, or equivalent; FIG, LevFin, or similar)\nPost-banking operating experience (Chief of Staff, BizOps, Growth, or founding team)\nBackground in Financial Services or B2B environments\nStrong executive function and organizational systems thinking\nWillingness to handle both strategic and administrative responsibilities without ego\nAbility to operate in a high-intensity, founder-led environment\nBonus Points\nPrior Chief of Staff experience at a scaling company\nFintech or regulated industry experience\nExperience supporting senior executives or founders\nTop-tier academic background\nWhat Success Looks Like (6-12 Months)\nCEO inbox consistently at zero\nWeekly planning cadence fully systematized\nStrategic deals consistently progress and close post-handshake\nSeries B ($50M) executed cleanly and efficiently\nMajor partnerships (e.g., Coinbase-level) successfully closed\nExecution infrastructure built to prevent opportunity loss\nCEO fully focused on highest-leverage activities\nWhy This Role Is Unique\nMassive Market Opportunity\nYou are joining a company redefining retirement in a $10T market.\nCompelling Equity Upside\nJoin before Series B (~$300M valuation) with equity priced at Series A ($110M).\nUnmatched Exposure\nWork directly on regulatory affairs, fundraising, and institutional deals at the highest level.\nFounder Leverage\nOperate alongside a high-caliber founder with deep networks across finance, tech, and government.\nCareer Trajectory\nThis role can evolve into a President-level position for the right operator.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5208,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Personal Finance Apps & Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T02:21:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":4,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.155,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":214,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":210000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/basiccapital-chief-of-staff","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/basiccapital-chief-of-staff.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T16:23:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23668,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":669081},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=669081"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbasiccapital-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbasiccapital-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbasiccapital-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/basiccapital-chief-of-staff\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbasiccapital-chief-of-staff"}]}
