Job Details

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 second member of the company’s legal department, reporting to the Head of Legal, and will play a key role in supporting all 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. 

In this role, you will be responsible for tracking and triaging a large number of projects at any given time. We are seeking a candidate who is equally comfortable prioritizing velocity or meticulous attention to detail, as circumstances merit, and who possesses a strong instinct for how to effectively balance these competing priorities.  

The ideal candidate can excel in diverse working environments—whether that means following detailed guidance or taking initiative on large, open-ended projects. 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!

Please note, this role is in person at EliseAI’s NYC headquarters (33rd and Park) ~4 days a week. We are not considering remote candidates for this position.

Responsibilities may include:

Contracting/Commercial:

  • Assisting with the drafting and negotiation of complex customer, partner, vendor, and other contracts 
  • Helping to establish contracting and organizational processes that will allow us to move with greater efficiency as we continue to scale

Regulatory/Compliance:

  • Owning large, complex regulatory/compliance projects and driving them to completion
  • Becoming a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on relevant regulatory regimes
  • Tracking new and amended laws to ensure we remain compliant in an rapidly-changing legal landscape
  • Developing and delivering training programs to company stakeholders to ensure compliance with policies and best practices

Other:

  • Assisting with other legal matters, from HR to corporate governance
  • Assisting with commercial and financial operational matters in close partnership with our Sales and Finance teams
  • Speaking with customers to address their questions and concerns
  • Taking on ad hoc projects in other areas across the business

Requirements

Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree (or foreign equivalent) from a top law school
  • Admitted to practice law in New York State with good standing, or willing and able to waive in to New York
  • ~1-3 years of legal experience at a top firm, either involving diverse corporate work or substantial complex regulatory/compliance work in a relevant industry (preferably both)

Skills

  • Ability to effectively and clearly communicate with customers and other outside parties
  • Strong legal drafting skills
  • Ability to parse and distill complex statutes and regulations
  • Strong researcher–demonstrated ability to reliably and thoroughly source data/information, interpret such information and augment with necessary context, and provide actionable recommendations or guidance to decision makers
  • Highly organized; rigorous attention to detail 
  • Sufficient mathematical aptitude and financial literacy to effectively partner with Sales and Finance

Mindset

  • Comfortable both owning deadlines with minimal supervision and taking instruction/working in close partnership with others
  • Enthusiastic, can-do approach; excited to work hard at a fast-growing startup
  • Has a startup mindset, strong sense of ownership, and a proper balance of quality and sense of urgency
  • Wants to work in person at NYC headquarters (33rd and Park) ~4 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 helping to write 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
  • Our brand new Midtown south office 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 from outside of the Greater NYC metro area - we'll make the move exciting, not painful.

Job Compensation Range:

The salary range for this role is $170,000 - $200,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation inclusive of salary and any bonuses is determined based on a number of factors including experience and skill level, location and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Additional details about total compensation and benefits will be provided by our Recruiting Team during the hiring process. EliseAI provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
