Who this fits
This suits a builder with real taste who wants to create a brand people talk about rather than manage calendars and polish copy. You need high ownership and a bias toward shipping over perfecting. The role is based in SoHo, NYC, at a lean fintech startup. Background in fintech, consumer finance, investing, or IRL and brand campaigns is a plus but not required.
From the employer
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.
