Chief of Staff to the CTO

About EliseAI

EliseAI develops cutting-edge conversational AI technology for industries fundamental to our lives: housing and healthcare. Everything is built on the foundation of health and home. Broken systems or ineffective processes in these domains have a disproportionate impact on our quality of life and society’s overall wellbeing. Conversely, any solution or technology that solves problems in these areas will have an impact that ripples far beyond them.

That’s the only kind of impact we are interested in having at EliseAI. If you get excited by the thought of working really hard on these kinds of problems, then EliseAI is the right place for you.

About The Role

Reporting directly to the CTO, you will work on a wide range of initiatives spanning product strategy, engineering operations, technical planning, and collaboration across technical and product teams. You’ll act as a force multiplier for the CTO, helping drive critical projects forward and ensuring high-priority initiatives stay on track.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the CTO on technical org design, product vision, and long-term infrastructure planning

• Lead or support cross-functional initiatives that require coordination between engineering, product, design, and data

• Drive special projects from inception to completion, often involving deep research, technical diligence, and problem-solving

• Monitor progress across teams on strategic engineering initiatives and surface blockers or gaps

• Create clear, concise documentation, presentations, and updates for internal and external stakeholders

• Help translate complex technical ideas into strategic business decisions

• Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in a technical role (e.g., software engineer, data analyst, data scientist, or technical program manager)

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders

• Demonstrated strong problem-solving skills

• Fast at execution

• Entrepreneurial and proactive - looking for creative ways to make the team better and improve processes and looking to take on responsibility

• Flexible, adaptable, willing to get hands dirty, collaborative 

• Willingness to work at our NYC Headquarters 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. 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 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!
