Video Producer

Basis AI • New York, NY

2d • $100,000 - $150,000 • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Accounting is a relationship-driven industry, and the most convincing thing we can put in front of a CFO or a firm partner is another one telling their own story. Video is how we do that at scale. It's also how we show what our agents actually do, in a category where most people have to see it to believe it. Basis is early in video, which means the person in this seat defines what we make and how we make it.
You'll own video end to end. That includes our in-office studio and the podcast we produce there, customer testimonials shot on location, conference and event content, recruiting and brand films, and the product and launch video that supports every campaign. It also includes the platform-native cuts that come out of all of it.
This role is built for someone who wants the whole range. You'll be as comfortable scoping a shoot, building the shot list, and running the camera as you are in the timeline afterward. Pre-production is yours, and it's the part that most determines whether a shoot is good or just expensive. You'll own our agency and freelance relationships outright, from scoping and budgets through on-set direction and final quality control. You'll be our lead editor, cutting some projects entirely yourself and directing external editors on others.
As we scale, you'll build the playbook that makes all of it repeatable: the formats worth investing in, the studio workflow, the partners we call for which kind of work, and the pipeline that turns one production day into a month of content.
