Business Development & Partnerships - 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.

• 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

As a Business Development & Partnerships - Senior Associate, you will be sourcing, negotiating and executing strategic partnerships with leading industry companies to drive growth for EliseAI. Reporting to the Director of Business Development & Partnerships, you will work closely with EliseAI’s leadership and the broader Strategy & Planning team to drive business development, partnerships and related efforts. This is a highly cross-functional role that requires strong business judgment, analytical skills, partner engagement, and a bias for action.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the identification, development, and execution of high-impact strategic partnerships aligned with company priorities

• Lead complex and cross-functional workstreams to align internal and external stakeholder incentives

• Evaluate partnership opportunities by performing quantitative and qualitative analysis, and presenting your conclusions to senior stakeholders.

• Own the evaluation and ongoing monitoring of market segments and partner companies across multiple industries

• Build and manage relationships with current and potential partners, from start-ups to large enterprises

• Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

• Note: This is not a sales role, the role is focused on strategic partnerships with other vendors and industry players

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

• 3-4 years of experience in strategic partnerships at high growth startups, investment banking, management consulting or other relevant roles (corporate/business development, strategy or founder) at high growth startups

• 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

• A bonus if you have knowledge or experience working with APIs and other technical integrations

• Willingness to work in person at our 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

• 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!
