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.

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.

About The Role

As New Verticals Manager, you will lead the charge in exploring, developing, and launching new products and market opportunities from zero to one, driving significant impact on our growth and market positioning. This role demands strategic thinking, deep market insight, cross-functional collaboration, and a track record of successfully launching new products or entering new markets. You will play a pivotal role in shaping product direction and go-to-market strategies.

Key Responsibilities

• Spearhead initiatives to identify, evaluate, and launch new product opportunities, conducting thorough feasibility analyses, market research, and competitive assessments
• Develop and own comprehensive go-to-market strategies, including market segmentation, positioning, pricing, and launch execution
• Lead cross-functional teams across Product, Engineering, Go-To-Market (GTM), and Customer Success to ensure alignment and successful execution of product launches and expansions
• Continuously monitor market trends, customer feedback, and competitive dynamics to iterate and optimize product strategies and offerings

Strategic Project Leadership

• Develop and manage detailed project plans with clear timelines, milestones, resource allocation, and success metrics
• Own accountability for product strategy outcomes, ensuring project milestones are met and strategic objectives are achieved

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with internal stakeholders, including senior leadership, product managers, engineers, marketing, sales, and customer success teams, to ensure cohesive execution of strategic initiatives
• Provide strategic insights and recommendations to senior leadership based on thorough analysis and market intelligence
• Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

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.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in product strategy, product management, management consulting, corporate strategy, or similar roles within high-growth tech startups or established technology companies
• Proven success in leading new product launches or entering new markets, demonstrating clear strategic vision and executional rigor
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a data-driven mindset
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and influencing skills, able to align diverse teams and stakeholders toward shared goals
• Autonomous and ownership-oriented, comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in fast-paced environments
• Relentless focus on execution and delivering tangible business outcomes
• Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week

Why Join

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. That means that instead of following a playbook, you’ll be writing it. Every single day you will be challenged to identify how we can scale and execute on it. You’ll learn what works when you succeed and what doesn’t when you fail. Either way, the rest of the team will be here to support you.

Benefits

In addition to the growth and impact you’ll have at EliseAI, we offer competitive salaries along with the following benefits:

• Equity in the company
• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
• Fully paid parental leave
• Commuter benefits
• 401k benefits
• Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters
• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office
• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!
