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.

About the role

This is a hands-on, commercially focused role on our legal team. You’ll partner day-to-day and support our Legal Counsels to draft, negotiate, and close a high volume of contracts and to support our deal desk. It's an ideal opportunity for an early-career attorney who wants to build deep commercial contracting expertise at a rapidly scaling SaaS company and grow alongside our legal function.

In this role, you will be responsible for tracking and triaging a large number of contracts and requests 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.

Because this role centers on contracts and deal support, we're looking for someone with strong drafting instincts, sound commercial judgment, and the ability to get up to speed quickly on new agreement types and business needs.

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

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements, including SaaS customer agreements, order forms, partner and reseller agreements, vendor and procurement contracts, NDAs, and data processing agreements

• Helping to establish contracting and organizational processes that will allow us to move with greater efficiency as we continue to scale

• Serving as a point of contact for our Sales and Partnerships teams, gathering context so agreements can be drafted accurately and efficiently

• Supporting deal desk operations, including managing contract intake, review, and approval workflows and helping deals move efficiently to signature

• Helping to improve contract templates, playbooks, fallback positions, and negotiation guidelines to help the team scale

• Speaking with customers and counterparties to resolve questions and keep negotiations moving

• Taking on other ad hoc projects as needed

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.

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. That means that instead of following a playbook, you'll be helping to write 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.

• Equity in the company

• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
