Founding Content Marketing Manager

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.' — Prashant Mital, Applied AI Lead, OpenAI What you'll be doing: In this role, you'll be the founding owner of our organic content engine. 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 combine storytelling, research, and sales enablement to create high-leverage content such as case studies, ROI calculators, and product videos that fuel the sales funnel. You'll be close to the keyboard from day one: writing, editing, publishing, optimizing, and distributing high-quality content yourself. You'll own the full content lifecycle from idea to brief to draft to publish to distribution to measurement. Your primary focus will be blogs, search/GEO content, resource hubs, guides, SEO landing pages, and other organic discovery surfaces. You'll also partner with PMM and marketing leadership on use‑case pages, solution pages, campaign assets, media opportunities, and product‑adjacent content where search, messaging, and distribution intersect. As the function scales, you'll build the operating system for content production at Basis. That means creating repeatable workflows, editorial standards, topic maps, content briefs, repurposing motions, performance reporting, and AI‑enabled processes that help us increase output without sacrificing quality. You'll work with our internal AI enablement teams to find ways to 10x content velocity, while keeping the work useful, accurate, and differentiated. This is not a pure strategy role, a pure writing role, or a pure SEO role. We're looking for someone who can build and run an organic content program end to end: writing with taste, optimizing with rigor, distributing with creativity, measuring what works, and improving the system every week.
