About EliseAI

At EliseAI, we're improving the industries that matter most: housing and healthcare. Everyone needs a place to live and access to quality healthcare, yet both are often harder to secure than they should be.
By integrating AI agents deeply into existing workflows, we make them more efficient, reduce costs, and improve the experience for everyone.

• Housing
  :
  We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

• Healthcare
  :
  We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

As part of our Strategy & Operations, Client AI Transformation team, you’ll work with our largest and most strategic customers to fundamentally rethink how their businesses operate in an AI-first world.

This is not a traditional consulting role. You won’t deliver recommendations and move on. You’ll work directly with senior client executives to identify where AI can transform their operations, design the path to get there, and drive the work from strategy through execution. The ambition is bigger than improving individual workflows—we want to help redefine how the property management industry operates.

You’ll sit within the Chief Strategy Officer’s organization and run high-impact client engagements while also owning strategic initiatives that shape EliseAI’s broader transformation strategy. You’ll have significant autonomy to identify opportunities, develop new ideas and capabilities, and build them from the ground up.

• Invent and launch new ideas, identifying opportunities beyond the existing roadmap and taking them from a blank sheet of paper through implementation

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do.
