About The Role

EliseAI is entering its next phase of growth-and we're looking for a strategic and operationally minded Chief Marketing Officer to help us get there. We've seen strong, consistent revenue performance and are now focused on scaling our go-to-market engine, sharpening our positioning, and unlocking the next level of brand and market impact.

As CMO, you'll be responsible for the full marketing lifecycle-from defining the strategy to driving execution across demand generation, content, and event marketing. You'll bring a deep understanding of how to scale marketing operations in a high-growth environment, especially in industry-specific markets. This is a highly cross-functional leadership role, working closely with Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Finance to align on company-wide priorities and vision-all in service of our mission to make housing more accessible and affordable for everyone.

Key Responsibilities

• Craft, articulate, and execute a marketing strategy that aligns with the company's growth objectives and enhances its position in the market
• Own all results from the marketing department, ensuring accountability for the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing initiatives and their impact on the company's overall objectives
• Work closely with the C-suite and senior sales leaders on overall GTM strategy and planning; segmentation, positioning, headcount planning, forecasting, budgeting, etc
• Lead all aspects of marketing planning, including market analysis, positioning, and segmentation strategies
• Oversee the creation and execution of multi-channel marketing campaigns designed to penetrate target markets deeply and effectively
• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams to ensure cohesive messaging and optimized customer journey experiences
• Partner with sales operations and engineering teams to build out and optimize our tech stack (analytics, marketing automation, etc.)
• Develop and control the marketing budget, ensuring investments are made wisely to maximize ROI and meet financial targets
• Establish robust analytics frameworks to measure and optimize the performance of all marketing initiatives, ensuring goals such as MQLs, pipeline impact, and customer engagement metrics are met or exceeded
• Represent the company at key industry events, conferences, and public engagements to enhance brand visibility and executive presence
• Attract, inspire, and retain top-tier marketing leaders and high-performing team members

Move at rocket speed, build something massive.

We're scaling fast, solving real client problems with precision and ambition. Here, you own your impact; full autonomy, no micromanagement, no fluff.

We hire the best, expect the best, and give you the masterclass of your career. It's hard, it's intense, and it's the most rewarding work you'll ever do. If you're hungry, driven, and ready to build something massive, climb aboard.

Requirements

• 10+ years of B2B software experience in a senior leadership position, with a proven track record in demand-gen, content, and event marketing
• Proven track record of building GTM marketing functions from the ground up while driving significant growth, ideally helping a hyper-growth startup scale to $200M+ ARR
• Experience in enterprise or vertical SaaS markets (e.g., real estate, healthcare, construction) strongly preferred
• Strong analytical mindset with expertise in marketing automation, attribution, and analytics frameworks
• Experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder marketing programs with long sales cycles
• Willingness to work in person at our NYC office 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 so fast. 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
• Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100%
• Fully paid parental leave
• Commuter benefits
• 401k benefits
• Fitness & home services stipend to cover part of your expenses so you can focus on what matters
• A collaborative in-office environment with an open floor plan, fully stocked kitchen, and all meals covered in the office
• Unlimited vacation and paid holidays
• We'll cover relocation packages and make the move exciting, not painful!
