Director of Business Development & Partnerships

About EliseAI

EliseAI develops cutting-edge conversational AI technology for industries fundamental to our lives: housing and healthcare. Everything is built on the foundation of health and home. Broken systems or ineffective processes in these domains have a disproportionate impact on our quality of life and society’s overall wellbeing. Conversely, any solution or technology that solves problems in these areas will have an impact that ripples far beyond them. 

That’s the only kind of impact we are interested in having at EliseAI. If you get excited by the thought of working really hard on these kinds of problems, then EliseAI is the right place for you.

About The Role

EliseAI is looking for a Director of Business Development & Partnerships to develop and own relationships with key partners during our high-growth stage. Your efforts will play a pivotal role in shaping our growth trajectory, enabling us to reach new markets and enhance our product offerings. By forging strong partnerships, you'll help drive our mission forward, ensuring that we continue to innovate and provide value to our clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, evaluate, and execute strategic partnership opportunities aligned with EliseAI’s business objectives.
• Develop and implement partnership strategies to drive growth, enhance products, and expand market reach.
• Negotiate and secure high-value partnerships, managing agreements to ensure successful outcomes.
• Build and maintain strong, long-term partner relationships, ensuring mutual value.
• Collaborate with product, marketing, and sales teams for seamless integration and execution of partnership initiatives.
• Track and analyze partnership performance to optimize collaboration and identify growth opportunities.
• Conduct market research to identify potential partners and stay informed about industry trends.
• Attract top-tier talent to join our driven team

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in M&A, investment banking, corporate strategy, business development, strategic partnerships, or venture/growth capital
• Excellent negotiation and relationship management skills, with the ability to foster long-term collaborations.
• Strong analytical skills to make data-driven decisions.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills.
• Ability to take ownership, be autonomous, and thrive in working in a fast-paced environment
• Willing to work in person at NYC headquarters 4-5 days a week

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. 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
• Our brand new Midtown south office 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 from outside of the Greater NYC metro area - we'll make the move exciting, not painful.

Job Compensation Range:

The salary range for this role is $180,000 - $250,000. 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.
