Business Development and Partnerships Manager | Healthcare

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

EliseAI is building the future of intelligent automation for healthcare. We’re early in our healthcare journey—but the momentum is real. After establishing ourselves as a leader in AI-powered solutions in housing, we’re now rapidly expanding in healthcare, and we’re looking for a Partnerships Manager to help us scale.

This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new vertical at a high-growth company. You’ll lead the charge in building and owning partnerships with key players across the healthcare ecosystem. You’ll shape the strategy, pitch the value, and close deals that accelerate our distribution and impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, pursue, and close strategic partnerships with healthcare service groups.

• Structure and negotiate partnership agreements, including revenue share models, go-to-market collaborations, and joint offerings.

• Build compelling materials—pitch decks, proposals, business cases—that communicate EliseAI’s value in healthcare.

• Collaborate closely with legal, product, and leadership teams to move deals from exploration to execution.

• Track performance of partnerships and evolve strategy based on results and market signals.

• Stay on top of industry trends, emerging players, and whitespace opportunities.

• Help shape EliseAI’s healthcare strategy by bringing back insights from the field.

• Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in business development, partnerships, healthcare consulting, or similar fields

• Experience working with or selling to healthcare stakeholders is a strong plus

• Strong negotiation, relationship-building, and deal execution skills

• Strategic mindset with the ability to distill complex problems and communicate clearly

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and creative mindset when approaching complex challenges within a fast-paced startup environment.

• Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 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!
