About Basis

Basis equips accountants with a team of AI agents to take on real workflows.

We have hit product-market fit, have more demand than we can meet, and just raised $34m to scale at a speed that meets this moment.

Built in New York City. Read more about Basis here.

What you'll be doing:

In this role, you will own the full sales cycle for Basis's largest and most strategic accounts-from prospecting and generating initial interest to closing deals-while coordinating closely with customer success, solutions/technical teams, and external partners such as integrators. You'll navigate complex, multi-stakeholder opportunities with long sales cycles, develop strategic account plans to hit goals and quotas, and build deep executive-level relationships to close high-value partnerships.

As we scale, you'll help define our enterprise sales motion by codifying playbooks and best practices, and help build the GTM team by interviewing and mentoring future sellers.

Location: NYC, Flatiron office. In-person team.

What you'll bring:
  • 5-10+ years of quota-carrying sales experience selling complex B2B software, with at least 2-3 years closing enterprise deals (six-figure+ ACV)
  • Proven track record of success (President's Club or equivalent preferred)
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
  • Experience navigating complex org charts, procurement processes, and multi-stakeholder buying committees at the C-suite level
  • Comfort with longer sales cycles (6-12+ months) and formal procurement and security reviews
  • Ability to work in office in Manhattan 5 days per week


What we'd love to see:
  • Finance experience: Big Four accounting and consulting, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or venture capital
  • Sold accounting/finance software into the office of the CFO
  • Experience selling into large finance or accounting teams at enterprise companies
  • Startup experience: Background at high-growth companies during scale phases
  • Familiarity with enterprise sales methodologies (MEDDIC or similar)


What Success looks like in this role
  • Startup mindset: Excited about ambiguity and rapid growth-you'll be building the enterprise playbook, not inheriting one
  • All-in: This is not a 9-5, we have a massive opportunity ahead of us and are looking to further accelerate our velocity. We are optimizing for the best folks and happy to compensate generously.
Why Join Basis?

We offer a competitive and thoughtful benefits package designed to support your physical, mental, and financial well-being:
  • Health & Wellness: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage; Life Insurance; and 6 coaching & 6 therapy sessions through Spring Health.
  • Flexibility: Unlimited PTO + 12 paid company holidays.
  • In-Office Perks: Daily meal stipends, a fully stocked kitchen, and $300 toward your custom desk setup.
  • Financial Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits and 401(k) retirement plan
  • Team Culture: Monthly office activities and frequent optional team happy hours.
