About the Role

Basis is hiring a Strategic Account Executive to drive new revenue within key enterprise accounts. This quota-carrying role involves managing complex deals, building relationships within global professional services organizations, and expanding revenue streams. You will own the entire commercial process, from initial research to closing deals, working closely with a Strategic Account Partner to deepen client relationships and achieve revenue targets.

Responsibilities

Own a named portfolio of strategic accounting-firm accounts, with clear accountability for new revenue and expansion.
Build and execute multi-year account and opportunity plans that map the firm’s priorities, buying centers, stakeholders, use cases, competitive dynamics, and path to revenue.
Leverage existing relationships to prospect into and create demand across large, complex organizations; develop relationships with executive sponsors, senior functional leaders, technical teams, and economic buyers.
Lead the full enterprise sales cycle, including discovery, business-case development, solution alignment, pilots or evaluations, commercial strategy, negotiation, procurement, legal, security, and close.
Run disciplined, multi-threaded deal processes with clear next steps, mutual action plans, stakeholder alignment, and accurate pipeline and forecast management.
Partner with the Strategic Account Partner to build relationship depth and account coverage, coordinate account strategy, and convert long-term partnership potential into near- and long-term revenue.
Orchestrate Basis executives, Solution Consultants, Deployed Intelligence, Customer Success, Product, Partnerships, Marketing, Legal, and Revenue Operations to remove blockers and advance opportunities.
Communicate the value of AI agents in the context of accounting-firm workflows, firm economics, risk, and client-service priorities; tailor the narrative to each buying audience.
Represent Basis at customer meetings, executive forums, and industry events, strengthening our strategic position within target accounts.
Help codify the strategic sales motion by sharing account insights, successful plays, and market feedback with the broader GTM team.

Requirements

7+ years of quota-carrying B2B software sales experience, with a demonstrated record of closing complex enterprise deals and consistently achieving or exceeding quota.
Experience selling into strategic or named accounts, ideally global professional-services firms, top accounting firms, or similarly complex enterprise organizations.
Proven ability to build executive relationships and navigate large, matrixed organizations with multiple buying centers and long, non-linear sales cycles.
Strength in creating and executing account strategies, opening new opportunities, managing multi-stakeholder buying committees, and moving complex deals from first conversation through close.
Experience leading six-figure-plus ACV transactions and navigating formal procurement, legal, security, and commercial review processes.
Exceptional consultative selling and discovery skills, with the ability to connect an emerging technology to measurable business outcomes and strategic priorities.
Executive presence and strong written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to partners, C-suite leaders, finance, operations, technology, legal, and procurement stakeholders.
A collaborative operating style: you can quarterback cross-functional teams while making ownership and accountability explicit.
Resourcefulness, high urgency, and sound judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
Direct experience selling to Big Four or other global accounting and consulting firms.
Experience selling AI, automation, workflow, data, or other complex technology into the office of the CFO, accounting, audit, tax, advisory, or professional-services teams.
Familiarity with enterprise sales methodologies such as MEDDIC or similar.
Experience at a high-growth company, with a builder mindset and an interest in shaping a new strategic-account sales motion.
