Founding Growth Marketing 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

Basis is looking for a founding growth marketing manager to build the one-to-many engine for in-house finance teams. Our agents already work inside the largest accounting firms in the world. In-house finance is the next market. You'll find the channels, messages, offers, and conversion paths that turn it into efficient, qualified pipeline.

You'll own programmatic growth across paid search, paid social, lifecycle, the website, influencers, and new channels. With our Head of Content you’ll flex into SEO and AEO, video, and newsletters.

You are obsessed with your numbers. You can explain how they changed and connect every program to pipeline and revenue. You’ll build feedback loops that let ad platforms learn from qualified opportunities and closed-won deals. You treat channels as a system to build and improve, not a budget to spend.

You'll also bring a scrappy builder's mindset. Set up the tool, automate the workflow, ship the first campaign, and find the partner who helps you move faster. Use AI, Clay, our CRM, and a lean stack to create leverage for yourself and the team.

You'll work closely with the Head of Marketing, PMM, Content, Marketing Ops, Sales, and Design. PMM and Content give you the narrative and assets. You turn them into distribution, conversion, and pipeline.

This is a high-ownership role for a marketer who likes hard numbers and messy starting points. You should be as comfortable inside an ad account as you are deciding which channel deserves the next dollar.

• A habit of creating leverage through AI, automation, Clay, CRM workflows, and agencies instead of headcount

• Technical aptitude and curiosity. You do not need to come from AI or accounting, but you should learn complex products quickly and market credibly to sophisticated buyers

• Performance Depth: Examples of how you improved CAC, payback, LTV to CAC, pipeline efficiency, or revenue from a paid channel over time

• Scrappy Leverage: A system, automation, or operating model that helped a smaller team produce more and improve results

• Paid Social Range: Experience making Meta, Linked In, or another paid social channel work through strong creative, clean feedback loops, and disciplined iteration

• One-to-Many Creativity: Campaigns that reached a broad buyer set without flattening the differences between industries, use cases, or levels of intent

• Channel Judgment: A clear example of where you scaled a channel, fixed it, or stopped spending because the economics did not work
