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." β Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI
About the role
Basis is deployed with the top accounting firms in the country. As our customer base grows, so does the long-term opportunity we hold with each firm β expanding across practices, deepening adoption, and growing into a mission-critical platform. We're building a dedicated Customer Success function to own those relationships.
This is a founding role. You'll come in as a player-coach, managing a portfolio of enterprise accounts directly while hiring, building, and leading the CS team. You'll write the CS playbook, own renewal performance, and build the infrastructure for a function that scales alongside one of the fastest-growing companies in AI.
What you'll do
- Build and lead the Customer Success function at Basis
- Own a portfolio of enterprise accounts as a player-coach: drive adoption, expansion, and renewal
- Hire, develop, and manage a team of Customer Success Managers
- Define the CS operating model: account segmentation, health metrics, handoff playbooks, and renewal processes
- Partner with the Deployed Intelligence team on the handoff from deployment to long-term customer ownership
- Partner with Account Executives on QBRs, expansion opportunities, and ARR growth
What you'll bring
- Experience as a founding or early CS leader
- Direct ownership of a renewal and expansion number against a portfolio of six- and seven-figure enterprise accounts
- Track record hiring and developing CSMs at enterprise scale
- Player-coach by preference: still get energy from running a customer call while building the team
Bonus if you have
- Background at a vertical SaaS or professional services platform
- Experience selling into or supporting accounting, audit, or finance firms
- Experience deploying AI products into regulated industries
What we look for
- Strong commercial instinct: thinks in terms of revenue outcomes; identifies expansion opportunities, manages complex renewals, and spots churn risk before it becomes a problem
- Builder: energized by creating the playbook of a rapidly scaling function
- High agency: takes ownership and moves fast without waiting for perfect information
- Executive presence: comfortable holding senior-level conversations with firm partners and C-suite stakeholders
- Office lover: prefers shouting across a room over a Slack message, seeking full-time in-office in NYC
