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:

We're looking for a Senior IT Manager to lead and scale EliseAI's internal IT function. This role is ideal for someone who has built or significantly grown IT at a high-growth technology company and is excited to shape the function as the business continues to scale.

About the role:This is a hands-on leadership role that combines strategic thinking with day-to-day execution. You'll build a high-performing IT organization that enables the business to move quickly while delivering a reliable, secure, and scalable employee technology experience.

You'll own the IT strategy, roadmap, and day-to-day operations, balancing immediate business needs with long-term investments in automation, infrastructure, and operational excellence. You'll build the systems, processes, and operational foundation that enable IT to scale, improving employee lifecycle operations, standardizing endpoint management, increasing automation, strengthening operational governance, and delivering a secure, reliable technology experience in close partnership with Security Engineering.

You'll lead and mentor the IT Support team, help define the future structure of the organization, and establish the standards and operating model that allow IT to scale alongside the company. Working closely with People Operations, Workplace Operations, Security Engineering, Finance, and other business leaders, you'll drive cross-functional initiatives, improve the employee technology experience, and build scalable solutions that increase efficiency across the organization.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building, developing people and creating the operational foundation that supports the company's next stage of growth.

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
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!
