Founding Demand Generation Manager

About Basis
 Basis builds real agents that do real work in the real economy. Our agents operate for hours at a time, performing end-to-end work for some of the largest accounting firms in the world.

 We recently raised $100M at $1B valuation and are racing to deploy the most advanced applied ML at production scale.

 Our investors include:
Khosla Ventures (Keith Rabois & Vinod Khosla), Accel (Miles Clements), Google Ventures, Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross, Adam D'Angelo, Jeff Dean, Jack Altman, Noam Brown, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, Clem Delangue and many other operators/technical leaders.

 "Basis is on the frontier of building production-grade, long-horizon agents. They've pushed the limits of what we thought our models could do on real-world, economically valuable, complex accounting tasks. They've been a great collaborator in helping us shape what the future of agents looks like." — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI
 What you'll be doing:
 In this role, you'll be the founding owner of demand generation 'll build the programs, experiments, and operating rhythms that turn market interest into qualified net-new pipeline across accounting firms and in-house finance teams, with the opportunity to extend the motion into expansion demand as the function scales.
 You'll own full-funnel demand programs from strategy through execution: defining target audiences, testing offers, launching campaigns, improving conversion paths, building webinar and lifecycle motions, and scaling the channels that produce high-quality opportunities. This is not an MQL-volume role. We're looking for someone who cares about pipeline quality, sales readiness, and learning quickly which messages, audiences, and motions create real demand.
 You'll work closely with the Head of Marketing, PMM, Content, Marketing Ops, Sales, BDRs, Partnerships, and Events to connect Basis's category narrative to measurable pipeline. Your job is to make the demand engine work: the campaigns, conversion paths, follow-up motions, handoffs, and feedback loops that turn the right prospects into real sales conversations.
 You'll be hands-on from day one. That may mean building campaigns yourself, managing an agency or contractor, orchestrating AI-enabled workflows, pulling insights from Hub Spot/Salesforce and campaign data, rewriting landing page copy, pressure-testing nurture flows, or sitting with BDRs to understand why a campaign is or is not converting. As we scale, you'll turn what works into repeatable playbooks and help shape how the demand generation function grows.
 This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to build the demand engine at a fast-moving AI company selling into sophisticated, high-trust markets. You'll need strong B2B demand generation instincts, technical curiosity, and the ability to operate well in ambiguity.

Location:

NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.
 What you'll bring:
 4-6 years of experience in B2B demand generation, growth marketing, revenue marketing, or a related role, ideally in high-growth software, AI, fintech, data, security, automation, or another technical product environment
 A track record of building and running full-funnel campaigns that create qualified pipeline, not just top-of-funnel activity
 Strong experimentation instincts across audiences, offers, messaging, landing pages, lifecycle campaigns, paid/inbound programs, webinars, and account-based motions
 Experience partnering closely with Sales and BDR/SDR teams to improve campaign follow-up, handoff quality, meeting conversion, and pipeline feedback loops
 Fluency with marketing and revenue tools such as Hub Spot, Salesforce, Google Analytics, ad platforms, enrichment tools, attribution/reporting systems, or similar platforms
 Analytical judgment: you can use funnel data, campaign performance, and qualitative sales feedback to decide what to scale, fix, or stop
 Technical aptitude and curiosity; you do not need to come from AI or accounting, but you should be able to learn complex products quickly and market credibly to sophisticated buyers
 Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
