Affordable Housing Compliance Analyst | Housing

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.

• Housing: We simplify how renters tour apartments, sign leases, submit maintenance requests, and stay connected with their property team—bringing everything they need for their home into one place.

• Healthcare: We make it easy to schedule appointments, complete intake forms, and we help patients communicate with providers, so everyone can focus on health instead of paperwork.

With EliseAI, organizations reduce manual work, improve accessibility, and deliver a seamless experience across essential services. We recently raised a $250 million Series E round led by Andreessen Horowitz to accelerate this mission.

About The Role

We are looking for an Affordable Housing Compliance Analyst to conduct first-pass reviews of resident files across the affordable housing programs our platform supports. You will apply established program rules and review guidance to check resident files for accuracy, flagging complex or ambiguous cases for escalation to our Tier 2 compliance team.

This is a high-volume, hands-on review role focused on accuracy, consistency, and speed. You will work from documented review guides and reference materials, follow defined escalation criteria, and contribute clear observations that help our Tier 2 team and product organization improve the system over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Review files for accuracy — Conduct first-pass review of resident files across LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, and PBRA), USDA Rural Development, and related programs for compliance with program rules.

• Apply standard determinations — Handle routine income and asset calculations, deductions, and certifications using established guidance and reference materials.

• Flag complex or ambiguous cases — Recognize when a file falls outside standard review criteria and escalate it to Tier 2 with clear, well-documented notes.

• Verify system outputs on standard cases — Check automated compliance outputs against program requirements for routine files, confirming calculations and determinations are correct.

• Document findings clearly — Record review notes and observations so patterns and recurring issues can be shared with Tier 2 and product teams.

• Follow review guides and checklists — Use the reference materials and standards built by Tier 2 to ensure consistent, accurate reviews.

• Support testing and validation — Help execute test cases and UAT under Tier 2 guidance to confirm outputs reconcile to compliance expectations before release.

• Meet quality and volume targets — Deliver accurate, timely reviews that meet defined SLAs and quality benchmarks.

Requirements

We are looking for the following capabilities. If you do not meet all of these qualifications, but are passionate about affordable housing, have a demonstrated interest in the field, and are a quick learner, we still encourage you to apply.

• 1+ years of hands-on affordable housing compliance file review, auditing, or related property management/compliance experience — or a demonstrated interest in the field with strong analytical skills and a track record of quickly learning detailed rules.

• Working knowledge of affordable housing programs — LIHTC (Section 42), HUD Section 8 (HCV, PBV, PBRA), and/or USDA Rural Development — including income and asset determinations, certifications and recertifications, and tenant file requirements.

• Comfort following established guidelines and escalation criteria — you know when to apply a rule and when to flag something for senior review.

• Certifications such as COS, SHCM, TCS, BOS, HCCP, or NCP are a plus, but not required.

• Clear written communication — able to document findings precisely and completely.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work accurately at high volume.

• Comfort working in a software / SaaS environment, or willingness to learn how program rules translate into software logic.

• Familiarity with AI and/or automation as they relate to compliance workflows is a plus.

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.

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

• 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!
