Product Strategy and Operations, VP - New Verticals | Housing

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.

• Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

• Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

About The Role

As VP of New Verticals, you will lead a team focused on identifying, incubating, and scaling new products and market opportunities from concept through launch (“zero to one”) and growth (“one to ten”). Reporting to the SVP Strategy, you will set strategic direction, guide high-impact initiatives, and drive alignment across the organization. This role requires strategic thinking, strong leadership, deep market expertise, and proven success launching and scaling new products or businesses. You will play a pivotal role in shaping new product direction and go-to-market strategies.

• Lead market research, feasibility analyses, and competitive assessments to identify and prioritize opportunities

• Develop and own go-to-market strategies, including segmentation, positioning, pricing, and launch execution

• Continuously monitor market trends, customer feedback, and competitive dynamics to iterate and optimize product strategies and offerings

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in product strategy, corporate strategy, consulting, product management, or similar roles in technology or high-growth startups.

• Proven track record launching and scaling new products or business lines, with clear strategic vision and measurable results.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, leveraging data and market insights for decision-making.

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 so fast. 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

• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%

• Fully paid parental leave

• Commuter benefits

• 401k benefits

• Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters

• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office

• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays

• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!
