Deployed Intelligence - Strategist

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

Over the last two decades, we’ve seen several waves of software deployment models, from on-prem to SaaS to bespoke platforms. With each wave came new deployment roles: implementation managers, solution engineers, and forward-deployed engineers.

Now, we believe a new phase is emerging: one defined not by implementing software, but by deploying intelligence

In this role, you will be part of our Deployed Intelligence team, which will lead the charge into the new reality of accounting. This is an extremely customer‑facing role. You will be the face of Basis for your accounts, owning post‑sale success from kickoff to adoption to expansion. You will lead engagements, run workshops and training, and translate business goals into intelligent agent workflows that transform how accounting gets done.
As the primary interface with our customers, you'll also be providing constant feedback to our Engineering team on product improvements, directly impacting the future of our platform.Ideally, you will have the following experience:

• 4+ years at a fast-paced Enterprise SaaS or fintech startup, or at a company that deploys complex SaaS solutions, where you worked closely with customers on onboarding, implementation, and training

• Extensive experience managing enterprise relations, ideally with large accounting firms

• Accounting experience and/or CPA are a plus, but not required
