What are the responsibilities and job description for the Event Marketing Manager position at Basis?
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
Event Marketing Manager
What You'll Be Doing
Accounting is a relationship-driven industry. Firms buy from people they've met and trust. Basis's events program puts us in front of accounting and enterprise finance leaders at the moments that matter. This role builds that program from the ground up.
You'll plan and run 40 events per year across the full spectrum: customer community events, multi-city roadshows, 2,000 person industry trade shows, and intimate executive dinners. Each one gets clear goals, tailored programming, and measurable outcomes tied to the specific audience in the room.
You'll partner closely with sales and leadership to design pre-show outreach, on-site meeting programs, and post-event follow-up sequences that turn booth traffic and attendee engagement into qualified pipeline. You'll own event budgets, vendor relationships, and timelines. As we scale, you'll build the playbook that makes it all repeatable.
What You’ll Bring
0-1 mindset. Comfort building the events function and processes from scratch.
Brand instinct. A strong eye for how Basis shows up in every room, from signage and swag to booth design and team presence.
Strategic execution. The ability to toggle seamlessly between high-level event strategy and hands-on, day-of execution.
Ruthless organization. A track record of managing a high volume of events simultaneously across both owned and third-party programs without losing the thread.
Data-driven. A track record of measuring event performance through to pipeline, and using that data to decide where to show up and when to double down.
Other Non-negotiables
Enterprise event expertise: Experience supporting sales teams through high-touch event moments: executive dinners, partner programs, and on-site meetings at major conferences.
Accounting industry fluency: Familiarity with the accounting profession, industry associations like AICPA and state societies, and buyer personas across CPA firms.
Tools and systems: Proficiency in event management platforms and CRM systems, with an eagerness to use AI to make the events function more efficient.

Benefits At Basis
We offer a competitive and thoughtful benefits package designed to support your physical, mental, and financial well-being:
