About EliseAI

EliseAI develops cutting-edge conversational AI technology for industries fundamental to our lives: housing and healthcare. Everything is built on the foundation of health and home. Broken systems or ineffective processes in these domains have a disproportionate impact on our quality of life and society’s overall wellbeing. Conversely, any solution or technology that solves problems in these areas will have an impact that ripples far beyond them.

About The Role

As a Strategy & Planning - Manager, you will be spearheading the launch of new strategic initiatives, driving market expansion efforts, and supporting the overall development and execution of the company’s strategy and business operations. The ideal candidate should be a strategic thinker, with strong business acumen, and exemplify strong operational excellence. The candidate should have a proven track record in managing complex projects and initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Initiatives Development:
   • Collaborate with the SVP of Strategy to identify, develop, and implement new strategic initiatives aligned with company objectives.
   • Conduct comprehensive market research and competitive analysis to inform strategic decision-making.
   • Develop detailed project plans, including timelines, and resource allocation.
2. Market Launch And Expansion
   • Lead efforts to explore and launch new products and markets, including conducting feasibility studies and market analysis, developing go-to-market strategies, and owning launch outcomes.
   • Drive cross-functional teams across engineering, product, GTM and customer success to ensure successful market entry and related product development.
   • Monitor and analyze market trends, customer needs, and competitive landscape to refine market strategies.
3. Transformation Strategy
   • Partner with senior executives at client organizations to co-develop their AI roadmaps by deeply understanding their business operations and goals.
   • Provide data-driven recommendations to improve client operational and strategic outcomes.

Requirements

• 5-6 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, product management, or founders / operational roles at high growth startups.
• Exceptionally strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data and make data-driven strategic recommendations and decisions.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Ability to take ownership, be autonomous, and thrive in working in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong practical, problem-solver with the ability to execute.
• Relentlessness, with a hands-on, get-it-done approach.
• Willing to work in person 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 startup that’s scaling. 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 in the form of stock options
• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
• Fully paid parental leave
• Commuter benefits
• 401k benefits
• Monthly fitness stipend
• Company paid lunch
• Fun company social events through our Elise and the City program
• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays

We'll cover relocation packages - we'll make the move exciting, not painful.
