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.

About the Role

EliseAI is growing rapidly and we’re looking for a Director of Talent to build and lead the recruiting function that powers that growth. This is a high‑impact role for a strategic and hands‑on recruiting leader who thrives on building systems, teams, and relationships that deliver results.

You’ll coach and elevate our recruiting team, partner with executives to anticipate talent needs, and bring a data‑driven, creative, and market‑savvy approach to how EliseAI finds and hires exceptional people.

You’re a builder with a bias for action, ability to anticipate hiring challenges, eliminate bottlenecks, and know how to scale talent in a high‑growth environment. We’d like to hear from you.

Cross‑functional collaboration: Work closely with People Operations, Finance, and leadership to align recruiting with business priorities and resource planning.

Attract top‑tier talent to join our driven team.
