Strategy and Operations, Future Platforms Associate/Sr Associate | Housing

📋 Job Overview

As a Strategy and Operations, Future Platforms Associate/Sr Associate on the Future Platforms team at EliseAI, you’ll help found and scale a critical new function: taking our future platform products from early customer promise to live, adopted, business-impacting deployments. This is a strategy role sitting inside a deployment function, where you'll own how our deployment motion works and scales with our platform.

🏢 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. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

🎯 The Role

You'll take ownership of a core piece of the deployment motion and go deep: diagnosing where it breaks today, designing how it should work, and driving the change across Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and Delivery until it holds at scale. You'll also carry one or two engagements yourself, so you experience the problems you are trying to fix. You'll partner closely with senior leadership, but you'll own outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who wants to operate like a founder: comfortable with ambiguity, energized by turning a messy, undocumented process into a system that scales, and willing to do whatever it takes to make it real.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own core pieces of the deployment motion: Take a defined slice, such as scoping methodology, migration readiness, or the product requirements pipeline, and take it to the next level: sharpen the standards, close the gaps that surface at volume, and put real measurement behind it
• Diagnose where the motion breaks: Use engagement data, retrospectives, and direct observation to find what actually drives deployment timeline, cost, and quality, and prioritize accordingly
• Plan for the next order of magnitude: Model what the function needs at several times today's volume, identify the constraints that break first, and make the case for building ahead of them
• Design and drive execution: Define priorities, timelines, and success metrics, then push changes through Product and delivery teams until they stick
• Carry one or two engagements: Stay close enough to the customer-facing reality to pressure-test what you're building, and to keep your recommendations credible with the people running deployments full time
• Shape the product roadmap: Turn patterns across engagements into prioritized requirements with Product and Engineering, grounded in what deployments actually surface
• Build the team: Help hire, onboard, and ramp the people running engagements, and codify what good looks like

📌 Required Qualifications

• 2 - 4 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, product management, and/or founder/operator roles at high-growth startups
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to make data-driven decisions
• A track record of designing and standing up processes or systems that kept working after you moved on
• Strong technical intuition, demonstrated by STEM degree or equivalent technical background
• Proven ability to take ownership and operate autonomously with strong judgement in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Proven ability to independently manage complex projects end-to-end in a client facing setting
• Excellent communication and ability to naturally build strong relationships and influence across internal and external stakeholders
• Willingness to travel ~1x per month for ~3 days
• Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week
