The Role

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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 Accounting, Governance, and Controls - Senior Manager, you’ll ensure EliseAI’s customer products and internal operations meet the highest bar for audit-readiness and regulatory compliance. You will help to design SOX and SOC 1 programs, bring deep accounting insight to cross-functional teams, and serve as a trusted advisor to our management team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the internal controls framework – Design, document, and maintain SOX 404 and SOC 1 Type II controls (business, ITGC, and automated) that scale with our business and platform

  • Embed safeguards in system workflows – Partner with engineering and product to translate requirements (e.g., role-based access, audit trails) into implementation

  • Lead AI governance initiatives – Draft and enforce model-oversight, data-provenance, and ethics policies alongside Legal and Security teams

  • Provide accounting expertise – Guide engineering teams to ensure sound product and operating decisions

  • Continuous improvement – Monitor regulatory changes and industry best practices, refreshing frameworks proactively

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

We’re scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff. We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It’s hard, it’s intense, and it’s the most rewarding work you’ll ever do. If you’re hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements

  • 5–7 years of total experience, with 3-4+ years in accounting, internal audit, or controllership (Big 4 or top-tier accounting advisory or multi-family property management preferred)

  • Solid grounding in core accounting (US GAAP) knowledge and processes

  • Clear, concise communicator able to influence cross-functional teams and present to senior leadership, auditors, and external clients

  • Willingness to work in person at our NYC headquarters 4–5 days per week

Preferred

  • Demonstrated ownership of SOX 404 or SOC 1 programs, ideally in a tech/software environment

  • Proven ability to convert control requirements into scalable system or process enhancements.

  • Familiarity with AI governance, model risk, or data-privacy regulations is a plus.

  • Professional certifications (CPA, CIA, CISA) preferred.

  • Real-estate or multifamily experience is advantageous but not required.

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, and join a sales team that have made us a top-rated sales org on RepVue!". 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!

Job Compensation Range

The salary range for this role is $150,000 - $200,000. EliseAI offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, equity, and a comprehensive benefits & perks package. Exact compensation is determined based on a number of factors including experience, 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.

Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

What We Do

EliseAI is a machine learning technology company based in New York City. Our mission is to improve life's most critical areas through AI automation.

Our state-of-the-art AI Assistant automates customer conversations across multiple channels to elevate customer service and improve the bottom line. Email, text, webchat, phone; we've built artificial intelligence that can respond to leads and customers 24/7 with accurate and helpful information. As of 2023, we’ve partnered with the top 200 property managers in America to automate leasing and increase access to housing.

This reduces operational overhead while empowering people to focus on higher-value work.
