Sales Strategy and Planning 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

In this role, you’ll build the sales planning and analytics function from the ground up. You’ll own the engine that keeps our sales organization running efficiently and predictably, including territory design, quota setting, forecasting, pipeline health, and compensation planning. Partnering closely with sales leadership, you’ll translate company targets into territory plans, capacity models, and quotas, and develop reporting that shows where the pipeline is strong, where it’s at risk, and what actions to take.

You'll run our forecasting process—improving accuracy, surfacing risk early, and giving leadership a clear view of where we'll land—and you'll design and administer comp structures that are fair, motivating, and aligned to company goals. Across deal desk, pipeline reviews, and QBRs, you'll be the source of truth for sales performance data and the analytics behind every major GTM decision.

As we scale, you'll shape our sales strategy function by codifying planning cadences, building the systems and dashboards leadership relies on, and helping grow the RevOps and strategy team as the GTM org expands.
