Job description

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 a Strategy & Operations Manager, you’ll drive the initiatives that define how we grow, where we expand, and how we operate at scale. This is a leadership role for someone who moves fast, thinks clearly under pressure, and knows how to turn strategy into execution.

You’ll partner closely with senior leadership, including the Chief Strategy Officer—but you’ll own outcomes. From identifying opportunities to setting direction to pushing initiatives across the finish line, this role will build momentum and deliver results.

Who You Are

• A strategic operator with strong business and operational judgment
• A clear owner who steps in, sets direction, and drives decisions
• Execution oriented and able to handle decision making on the fly
• Comfortable leading through ambiguity and moving at speed
• Motivated by scale, impact, and building a generational AI business

What You’ll Do

• Lead and launch strategic initiatives that directly power company growth and market expansion
• Identify where we win next, using market research, competitive analysis, and internal data
• Design and run execution plans, defining priorities, timelines, and success metrics
• Drive AI transformation strategy with senior client executives by deeply understanding their businesses and defining where AI delivers real value
• Turn strategy into reality, pushing ideas from concept to measurable impact—fast

Requirements

• 5–6 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, product management, or founder/operator roles at high-growth startups
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to make data-driven strategic decisions
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-influencing skills
• Proven ability to take ownership and operate autonomously in fast-paced environments
• A hands‑on, execution-oriented problem solver
• Relentless, high-standards mindset with a get‑it‑done approach
• Willingness to work in person at our office 4–5 days per week

Why Join

Growth and impact. It’s not often that you can get in on the ground floor of a funded (2x unicorn!) startup that’s scaling so fast. This 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

• 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!
