Stellic, Inc., San Mateo, California, United States, 94409


Stellic is a unified SaaS platform designed to empower all students on their way to degree completion and career success. Originally built by students to more effectively plan ahead, today we’re proud to serve all segments of higher education at institutions like UChicago, Ohio State, Johnson County Community College, Cornell College, and University of Oklahoma, and many more.A bit about our philosophy: we’ve put student experience at the heart of our platform to address some of higher ed’s biggest current challenges. In fact, 40% of students who enter college will get lost while navigating their degree requirements and ultimately drop out — costing $200B to institutions annually. A big cause is that most of higher education has been using antiquated and disparate tools to manage student progress, and that’s led to low student engagement, overwhelmed advisors, and wasted resources. Stellic gives students a beautiful, user-friendly experience to plan ahead and manage their progress, helping them make informed decisions and take ownership. That data is then put to good use. Advisors and administrators have access to student planning and progress data like never before, helping to scale support and allocate resources based on what the students need. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!With millions of students in higher ed, Stellic’s work is far from finished. By joining our team, you’ll help step closer to our mission of empowering all students to have the best-possible experiences and outcomes.About the RoleWe need a team member who can be our “glue” - we’re calling the job Chief of Staff, but we really see it as our very own Organizer of the Chaos, Trusted Thought-Partner to our Founders, Truth-Speaker, and Execution Extraordinaire.
