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.

• 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.
  
• 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.

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

You will report to the Head of Legal, and will play a key role in supporting product compliance and other regulatory matters for the company (along with a sprinkling of other matters that may arise, as needed). 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. This will be the first dedicated product counsel hire for the company, but this hire will be supported by the rest of the legal team.

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 hire will work across both our real estate and healthcare business lines, so we’re looking for someone who can learn quickly and views new challenges with excitement rather than intimidation.

Key Responsibilities

• Owning large, complex regulatory/compliance projects and driving them to completion
• Becoming a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on relevant regulatory regimes
• Working with product and engineering teams to drive product compliance
• Proactively tracking new and amended laws and guidance to ensure we remain compliant in an rapidly-changing legal landscape
• Speaking with customers to address their questions and concerns
• Developing and delivering training programs to company stakeholders to ensure compliance with policies and best practices
• Assisting with other miscellaneous legal matters that may arise and taking on ad hoc projects in other areas across the business

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

Qualifications:

• Juris Doctor (JD) degree (or foreign equivalent) from a top law school
• Admitted to practice law in New York State with good standing, or willing and able to waive in to New York
• 3-5 years of legal experience:
  • 2+ years of experience working in a top law firm’s regulatory/compliance practice (or other practice area of meaningful relevance)
  • 1+ years of experience working as a product counsel in a high-growth SaaS company preferred but not required

Skills:

• Strong legal researcher–demonstrated ability to reliably and thoroughly source data/information, interpret such information and augment with necessary context, and provide actionable recommendations or guidance to decision makers
• Experience parsing and distilling complex statutes and regulations
• Experience researching case law and extracting/abstracting principles therein to better interpret statutes
• Ability to effectively and clearly communicate with customers and other outside parties
• Highly organized; rigorous attention to detail
• Experience working with regulatory regimes relating to AI, housing, healthcare, and/or data privacy a plus but not required

Mindset:

• Comfortable both owning deadlines with minimal supervision and taking instruction/working in close partnership with others
• Enthusiastic, can-do approach; excited to work hard at a fast-growing startup
• Has a startup mindset, strong sense of ownership, and a proper balance of quality and sense of urgency
• Team player with collaborative instincts
• Willingness to work in person at our NYC 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 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
• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and company-paid lunch.
• Fun company social events through our Elise and the City program
• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!

Job Compensation Range

The salary range for this role is $170,000 - $200,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation inclusive of salary and any bonuses is determined based on a number of factors including experience and skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process.
