Director of Customer Success - job 1 of 2

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.

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

• 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!
