About the role
About Basic Capital
Basic Capital is a fintech company disrupting America’s $1T retirement industry by building the mortgage for retirement, unlocking market ownership, and making wealth accessible to every American. Our mission is to create products, platforms, and a credit marketplace that power a fundamentally new retirement system.
Our founding team includes leaders from Goldman Sachs, Uber, Block, and Robinhood, and we’re backed by top investors such as Lux, BoxGroup, SVAngel, Inspired Capital, and Henry Kravis. Based in SoHo, NYC, we’re assembling a lean, high-performance team committed to reducing wealth inequality.
About the Role
Basic Capital is building a new wealth system for everyday Americans. We are doing it by giving people access to capital markets in a radically new way, and we are doing it with taste.
In less than a year since launch, Basic Capital is already becoming a household brand. We have something interesting to say, and a truth to be (well) told.
We are hiring a Product Marketing Lead to help turn Basic Capital into a generational financial services brand. This is not “fintech marketing.” This is storytelling, culture, and distribution, executed with speed and precision.

Your job is to relentlessly drive the Basic Capital brand forward as a leading innovator in fintech, and to push well beyond what is expected from a financial services company.

You will relentlessly drive the Basic Capital brand forward as a leading innovator in fintech and create a generational financial services brand. With unmatched creativity and freedom push well beyond what is expected from a financial services company.
