A Conditional Context - "Help"

When Sean Trevor is suddenly offered a serious job promotion by the CEO of his company, Peter Freight, under the condition that Sean help him commit a crime, Sean finds himself knee deep in trouble.

Is "help" rather than "helps" fine there given the context?

Thanks.
