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

You will be the fourth member of the company’s legal department, reporting to the Head of Legal, and will play a key role in supporting various legal matters for the company. We are looking for someone eager to learn about the legal functions and operations of a rapidly-growing SaaS company and the legal challenges unique to the AI space. This is a great opportunity for a candidate who is considering law school in a few years and wants to gain exposure to the legal field. You will be joining a high-performing, collaborative legal team led by attorneys with degrees from top law schools and experience at elite law firms. This role offers a unique opportunity for hands-on mentorship, accelerated learning, and exposure to sophisticated legal work in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

We are seeking a candidate with excellent attention to detail. This role will support myriad critical legal workstreams, so a meticulous and exacting approach to one’s work is essential. This role will touch on a variety of legal areas, from traditional commercial work to compliance/product-related projects, so we’re also looking for someone who can learn quickly and views new challenges with excitement rather than intimidation.

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!

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.

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.

• Fun company social events through our Elise and the City program
