Future Platforms Team Overview

The Future Platforms team is responsible for executing the next generation of AI products and business lines, blending go‑to‑market, product, operations, and strategy to push the frontier of AI and own everything required to take them from idea to market leadership. This team will 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.

About the Role

As an Engagement Lead, you’ll help found and scale a critical new function at EliseAI: taking platform products from early customer promise to live, adopted, business‑impacting deployments. The role sits at the intersection of product, strategy, and execution with high autonomy and cross‑functional responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own engagement success end-to-end: drive customer deployments from late-stage sales handoff through launch and post‑launch stabilization, ensuring outcomes, timelines, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Support sales and expansion: participate in later‑stage sales and pre‑sales discovery, scope realistic engagements, and identify follow‑on opportunities.
  • Lead discovery, scoping, and decisioning: translate fuzzy goals into crisp requirements, workflows, success metrics, and rollout plans; guide customers through trade‑offs, product constraints, and adoption choices.
  • Run the execution motion: maintain multi‑threaded project plans under ambiguity, coordinate across internal teams and external stakeholders, and create clear operating cadences, risk tracking, and launch readiness.
  • Configuration and launch: collaborate with product operations, engineering, and training teams to drive product configuration, data migration, launch, and successful adoption.
  • Inform and support product development: partner with Product/Engineering to define net‑new product workflows and requirements, shaping the product roadmap based on scoping learnings and customer input.
  • Build the scalable playbook: turn lessons from engagements into repeatable processes, templates, and systems, improving speed and quality as we scale.
  • Attract top‑tier talent to join our driven team.

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, product management, and/or founder/operator roles at high‑growth startups.
  • Strong technical intuition, demonstrated by a STEM degree or equivalent technical background.
  • Proven ability to take ownership and operate autonomously with strong judgement in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments.
  • Proven ability to independently manage complex projects end‑to‑end in a client‑facing setting.
  • Excellent communication and the ability to naturally build strong relationships and influence across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ability to operate creatively and flexibly while maintaining sharp attention to detail.
  • Willingness to travel ~1x per month for ~3 days.
  • Willingness to work in person at our office 4-5 days a week.

Benefits

  • Equity in the company.
  • Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100 %.
  • Fully paid parental leave.
  • Commuter benefits.
  • 401(k) benefits.
  • Fitness & home services stipend.
  • A collaborative in‑office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all office meals covered.
  • Unlimited vacation and paid holidays.
  • Relocation packages.
