"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:
We're looking for a Partner Manager to own the activation, enablement, and expansion of strategic partners Basis signs. Reporting into the Channel Sales Leader, you'll be the operational backbone of our Channel Partnerships program, enabling signed enterprise CPA firms to be revenue-producing partners. You'll help build the playbook for partner enablement, owning the partner relationship from onboarding through ongoing expansion.
Own partner activation end-to-end: Run joint business planning, account mapping, and expansion conversations for every new partner we sign, enabling partners through their first client win and beyond
Build sales enablement: Deliver trainings, certifications, and ongoing partner enablement to ensure partners are equipped and trained to successfully sell and deploy Basis
Relationship management: Be the day-to-day point of contact for Practice leaders and Consulting teams and establish trust quickly to continuously grow the relationship. Run the partner operating cadence, monitoring success metrics ensuring partners are aligned to mutual goals.
Coordinate joint-GTM: Identify opportunities for field events, co-branded webinars, and other growth-oriented activities, in collaboration with Sales and Marketing.
Collect feedback: Serve as the voice of partners and clients to bring feedback from live engagements on new use cases and what’s missing to Product, Sales, Implementation, and Marketing.
What you’ll bring:
5–8+ years of experience in Technology Consulting, Partnerships, or Program Management at a B2B SaaS or AI company where channel partnerships materially shaped revenue
Experience partnering with professional services firms, large accounting firms, SIs, or managed service providers
Strong project management skills with a proven ability to drive multiple engagements in parallel through different stages without dropping balls

What we’d love to see:
Relationships within the enterprise CPA firm ecosystem (Big Four, top 25 firms) or similar professional services networks
Background in accounting, fintech, or professional services software
Prior experience as an early channel seller or go-to-market hire at a startup
What success looks like in this role:
Enablement-first mindset: Partners are equipped and confident selling and implementing Basis because you’ve invested in their success
Company-builder: Eager to lay groundwork both commercially and culturally as we rapidly scale
All-in: Driven to seize a massive opportunity, accelerate growth, and commit deeply to Basis’s success
