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 $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate this mission.
The Future Platforms Team - Executing on EliseAI’s Future Products
The Future Platforms team is responsible for executing on the next generation of AI products and business lines. This team will blend go-to-market, product, operations, and strategy with a mandate to push the frontier of AI and own everything required to take them from idea to market leadership.
Our goal is to take Elise from agentic AI to truly end-to-end autonomous operations, fundamentally transforming how housing operators run their businesses and how residents experience their homes.
Future Platforms will operate as a startup within a startup, run like a Seed or Series A company but with the capital, resources, and market access of a well-funded Series E, deep C-suite involvement (CEO, CRO, CSO, CTO) and founder-level ownership from day one.
About The Role
As a Deployment Manager on the Future Platforms team, you will help found and scale a critical function at EliseAI: delivering our accounting platform from initial deployment through full operational adoption.
You will own the accounting layer of complex deployments, serving as the primary driver of successful implementations across multiple clients at once. This means working directly with Controllers, CFOs, and accounting teams to scope workflows, configure systems, drive key decisions, and ensure a clean transition into live operations.
This is a highly cross-functional, execution-heavy role at the intersection of accounting, product, and customer success. Because the platform is early and evolving quickly, you won’t just execute implementations - you’ll help define how they’re done, building scalable systems and playbooks from the ground up.
This role is ideal for someone who combines strong accounting intuition with a builder mindset, and wants to operate like a founder in a fast-scaling environment.
Key Responsibilities
Own accounting deployment success end-to-end:
Drive the accounting portion of multiple concurrent deployments, from late-stage sales handoff through post-launch stabilization
Roll off accounts once they are fully live and operating successfully on the platform
Ensure accuracy, completeness, and operational readiness across all accounting workflows
Lead accounting discovery, scoping, and decisioning:
Partner with senior accounting stakeholders (Controllers, CFOs, Finance teams) to understand current-state workflows and define future-state processes
Drive critical implementation decisions, such as:
Bank account onboarding strategy
Vendor onboarding and payment workflows
Chart of accounts structure and usage
Transaction and charge code design
Translate ambiguous accounting needs into clear system configurations and requirements
Own configuration and implementation:
Lead hands-on accounting setup, including:
Manage detailed back-and-forth with clients to gather, validate, and refine data inputs
Ensure integrity and correctness of client-provided materials (e.g., validating GL structures, identifying inconsistencies, resolving gaps)
Drive migration and post-launch success:
Ensure full readiness for data migration and system cutover
Lead post-launch activities, including:
Reconciliations and validation of financial data
Stabilization of accounting workflows in the new system
Kickstarting close processes and operational rhythms
Act as the primary owner of a clean, accurate transition into the platform
Enable adoption and training:
Run trainings, walkthroughs, and tailored demos for accounting teams
Ensure end users are confident operating within the new system
Identify and resolve adoption blockers early
Build scalable systems and playbooks:
Turn implementation learnings into repeatable processes, templates, and best practices
Partner with Product and Engineering to surface gaps and improve accounting workflows
Help define what “great” looks like for accounting implementations at scale
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
We’re looking for someone who blends accounting expertise with strong execution and ownership:
4–6 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, product management, and/or founder/operator roles at high-growth startups
Background in accounting or finance (e.g., former Controller, Senior Accountant, accounting consultant, or accounting-focused operator), ideally in a high-growth or tech-enabled environment
Experience managing complex, client-facing implementations or projects
Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals (GL, reconciliations, close process, workflows)
Comfortable getting into the weeds with data, configurations, and systems
Excellent communicator who can build trust with senior finance stakeholders
Highly organized and able to manage multiple concurrent deployments under tight timelines
Autonomous, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in ambiguity
Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week
Willingness to travel ~2x per month for ~2-3 days
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!
