## About the role

As Senior Strategy Manager, Government Affairs, you will establish and lead EliseAI's government affairs and public policy function from the ground up. Reporting to the Director of Corporate Development & Partnerships, you will build the relationships, intelligence, and strategy that let EliseAI navigate a fast-moving policy landscape—and help shape it.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in government affairs, public policy, or regulatory strategy at a high-growth technology startup, or a relevant role at a top-tier management consultancy
- Strong command of the legislative and regulatory landscape at the intersection of housing and technology (familiarity with fair housing, AI and data-privacy regulation, or affordable housing programs such as LIHTC and Section 8/PBRA is a strong plus)
- Established relationships with government stakeholders—housing authorities, agencies, or regulators—or a demonstrated ability to build them quickly from a standing start
- Track record of building something from 0→1 and operating effectively without a defined playbook
- Exceptional written and verbal communication, with the ability to author policy positions and represent EliseAI credibly in public and government settings
- Strong analytical judgment, with the ability to translate policy and regulation into commercial and product implications
