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 $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.

About the role

This hire will report to the Head of Legal and will play a key role in supporting all legal matters for the company. We are looking for someone eager to learn about the legal functions and operations of a rapidly-growing SaaS company and the legal challenges unique to the AI space.

In this role, you will be responsible for tracking and triaging a large number of projects at any given time. We are seeking a candidate who is equally comfortable prioritizing velocity or meticulous attention to detail, as circumstances merit, and who possesses a strong instinct for how to effectively balance these competing priorities.

The ideal candidate can excel in diverse working environments—whether that means following detailed guidance or taking initiative on large, open-ended projects. This role will touch on a variety of legal areas, from traditional commercial work to compliance/product-related projects, so we’re also looking for someone who can learn quickly and views new challenges with excitement rather than intimidation.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to contribute to the success of a growing company with a cutting-edge product, we’d love to hear from you!

Contracting/Commercial:

Assisting with the drafting and negotiation of complex customer, partner, vendor, and other contracts

Helping to establish contracting and organizational processes that will allow us to move with greater efficiency as we continue to scale

Regulatory/Compliance:

Becoming a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on relevant regulatory regimes

Tracking new and amended laws to ensure we remain compliant in a rapidly-changing legal landscape

Developing and delivering training programs to company stakeholders to ensure compliance with policies and best practices

Other:

Assisting with commercial and financial operational matters in close partnership with our Sales and Finance teams

Speaking with customers to address their questions and concerns

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

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. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.
