Chief of Staff to the CSO

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.

About The Role

The Chief of Staff to the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) is a high-impact role at a critical stage of the company’s growth. This role acts as a force multiplier for the CSO, driving execution across the company’s highest-priority strategic initiatives, and ensuring focus, momentum, and alignment as we scale.

You will operate at the intersection of strategy, planning, new verticals development, and business development & partnerships, while working cross-functionally with executive leadership, product, operations, finance, and external partners. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks strategically, executes relentlessly, and wants a front row seat to company-level decision making.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the CSO to define, prioritize, and drive the company’s strategic roadmap

• Translate high-level strategy into clear plans, goals, and execution frameworks

• Lead strategic planning processes, including annual planning, quarterly priorities, and executive reviews

• Track progress against strategic initiatives and proactively surface risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations

• Support the evaluation, launch, and scaling of new product lines or market verticals

• Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and financial modeling to inform go-to-market decisions

• Serve as a point person to ensure alignment between strategy, product, and go-to-market teams

• Prepare high-quality materials for executive meetings, board discussions, and external stakeholders

• Step in as an owner and operator on critical initiatives as needed

• 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 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

• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%

• Fully paid parental leave

• Commuter benefits

• 401k benefits

• Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters

• 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!
