Role
Who you are
- We are looking for someone eager to learn about the legal functions and operations of a rapidly-growing SaaS company and the legal challenges unique to the AI space
- We are seeking a candidate who is equally comfortable prioritizing velocity or meticulous attention to detail, as circumstances merit, and who possesses a strong instinct for how to effectively balance these competing priorities
- The ideal candidate can excel in diverse working environments—whether that means following detailed guidance or taking initiative on large, open-ended projects
- If you’re excited by the opportunity to contribute to the success of a growing company with a cutting-edge product, we’d love to hear from you!
- Juris Doctor (JD) degree (or foreign equivalent) from a top law school
- Admitted to practice law in New York State with good standing, or willing and able to waive in to New York
- ~1-3 years of legal experience at a top firm, either involving diverse corporate work or substantial complex regulatory/compliance work in a relevant industry (preferably both)
- Ability to effectively and clearly communicate with customers and other outside parties
- Strong legal drafting skills
- Ability to parse and distill complex statutes and regulations
- Strong researcher–demonstrated ability to reliably and thoroughly source data/information, interpret such information and augment with necessary context, and provide actionable recommendations or guidance to decision makers
- Highly organized; rigorous attention to detail
- Sufficient mathematical aptitude and financial literacy to effectively partner with Sales and Finance
- Comfortable both owning deadlines with minimal supervision and taking instruction/working in close partnership with others
- Enthusiastic, can-do approach; excited to work hard at a fast-growing startup
- Has a startup mindset, strong sense of ownership, and a proper balance of quality and sense of urgency
- Wants to work in person at NYC headquarters (33rd and Park) ~4 days a week
What the job involves
- You will be the second member of the company’s legal department, reporting to the Head of Legal, and will play a key role in supporting all legal matters for the company
- In this role, you will be responsible for tracking and triaging a large number of projects at any given time
- This role will touch on a variety of legal areas, from traditional commercial work to compliance/product-related projects, so we’re also looking for someone who can learn quickly and views new challenges with excitement rather than intimidation
- Assisting with the drafting and negotiation of complex customer, partner, vendor, and other contracts
- Helping to establish contracting and organizational processes that will allow us to move with greater efficiency as we continue to scale
- Owning large, complex regulatory/compliance projects and driving them to completion
- Becoming a subject matter expert and trusted advisor on relevant regulatory regimes
- Tracking new and amended laws to ensure we remain compliant in an rapidly-changing legal landscape
- Developing and delivering training programs to company stakeholders to ensure compliance with policies and best practices
- Assisting with other legal matters, from HR to corporate governance
- Assisting with commercial and financial operational matters in close partnership with our Sales and Finance teams
- Speaking with customers to address their questions and concerns
- Taking on ad hoc projects in other areas across the business
Our take
Contactless human interaction through technology has thrived in recent years, and this has impacted the real estate industry greatly. A significant reexamination is needed in regard to how estate agents serve and communicate when in-person interactions are less feasible. EliseAI, previously MeetElise, provides AI-powered leasing agent software that aims to solve this problem.
The company deploys machine learning to fill communication gaps between agents and clients, in addition to providing mixed reality solutions for digital property viewings. The startup claims that their software increases conversion rates from traditional leasing methods and tools by more than 65%, responding instantly to 90% of custom inquiries for over 250,000 properties. 60% of the top 50 real estate businesses in the US use EliseAI, whilst 30 million residents and prospective customers have had conversations with the AI.
Estate agents across the globe have developed digital platforms to serve customers digitally. However, EliseAI presents an all-in-one solution that aims to support estate agents and their clients, regardless of whether in-person communication is possible. Funding secured by the company will be used by to propel its growth and prop up its already secured equity capital.
