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.

Role Overview

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.

The role involves 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 balance these competing priorities.

The ideal candidate can excel in diverse working environments—whether 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!

Key Responsibilities

• 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:
  • Owning large, complex regulatory/compliance projects and driving them to completion
  • 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 other legal matters, from HR to corporate governance
  • 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
  • Taking on ad hoc projects in other areas across the business
  • Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

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.

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.

• Equity in the company
• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
