Founding Content Marketing Manager

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 an experienced content marketer to be the founding owner of our content function. You'll build and execute a content strategy from scratch, with the opportunity to showcase our vision, establish our point of view, and inspire action with our story.

You're a fantastic storyteller who can captivate audiences, educate buyers, and create experiences that drive outcomes. You're a tastemaker with a finger on the pulse of what makes brands great and a perspective on how B2B content should evolve.

You'll build the program that helps Basis show up wherever our buyers are learning: search engines, AI answer engines, blogs, resource hubs, campaign channels, media surfaces, and social distribution. You'll shape the story that shows prospects and customers how we're transforming accounting teams from processors to advisors.

This role carries two connected mandates: building durable organic and GEO authority that compounds over time, and creating full-funnel campaigns and enablement assets that give our enterprise sales team leverage to close complex deals. You'll flex between both depending on where the business needs you most.

This is a job where you wear many hats, grow quickly, and make a big impact: get creative, stay organized, take projects from inception to completion, and ruthlessly prioritize. Move between setting strategy and being close to the keyboard – writing, editing, publishing, optimizing, and distributing high-quality content yourself.

You'll own the operating system for content production at Basis: editorial standards, content briefs, and AI-enabled processes that increase output without sacrificing quality. You'll run it end to end, writing with taste and measuring what works, while partnering closely with sales to convert that authority into enterprise pipeline.
