Corporate Development and Partnerships, Manager / Senior Manager | Housing

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 $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.

Corporate Development & Partnerships Team

The Corp. Dev. & Partnerships team is responsible for how EliseAI expands its footprint in housing and captures the value beyond the core platform. The remit spans strategic partnerships on the go-to-market side (distribution, channel) and the product side (integrations that extend what our platform can do), M&A, government affairs, and the strategic roadmap for high-value categories like payments and insurance. This team blends dealmaking, go-to-market, and policy with a mandate to own each initiative end-to-end - sourcing it, structuring it, and driving it to something live.Our goal is to enable EliseAI to capture more value across the housing ecosystem rather than sit adjacent to it.

About The Role

As a Manager/Senior Manager on the Corp. Dev. & Partnerships team, you'll own the end-to-end lifecycle of strategic partnerships and corporate development initiatives - from sourcing and structuring to closing and execution. This is a highly cross-functional role that requires strong business judgment, analytical skills, partner engagement, and a bias for action. The role reports into the Director of Corp. Dev. and Partnerships, with close engagement with EliseAI’s leadership team and broader Strategy & Planning organization

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the cross-functional work - with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Legal - needed to turn a signed agreement into a live partnership, and keep internal and external incentives aligned along the way

• Own the ongoing evaluation and monitoring of market segments and partner companies across the industries relevant to the EliseAI platform

• Evaluate specific partnership and corporate development opportunities through quantitative and qualitative analysis, and present conclusions and recommendations to senior stakeholders

• Help attract, hire, and develop top-tier talent as the team grows

• Proven ability to operate in fast-paced environments, and strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data to develop actionable insights

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders across teams and partner companies

• Ability to work in-person at our NYC headquarters 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

• 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!
