Product Lead, Explore

Set students’ lives on a trajectory they’ll be proud of

Every decision a student makes during their education can leave a lasting impact on their future. Together, we can help them bring the right decisions into focus.

There are over 235 million students in higher-ed, each with a path that will let them move forward in the world with purpose. We have the opportunity to make the path easier to see and follow. It’s a big endeavor, but we’re fully committed to it.

Innovation for students, by (former) students

We started Stellic when we were college students wanting to get the most value out of our education. The tools available to help us were outdated and confusing, even then. But with effort and insight from other students and professionals on campus, we’re now redefining the role of tech in schools across the world.

We approach our work with curiosity, a drive to grow, and a desire to learn.

You own the mission

We take full ownership of our work and its impact. We focus on outcomes, not just tasks, and always drive the mission forward.

You drive for 10x

We focus on what makes the biggest difference and deliver experiences that raise the bar and bring true delight.

You lead with heart

We think about the people on the other side and act with empathy, integrity, and care for how our work makes others feel.

TEAM SPOTLIGHT

“Owning a major feature early on helped me grow faster than I ever thought was possible. You’re trusted here, and that pushes you to step up.”

TEAM SPOTLIGHT

“I gave up on a minor I really wanted because I couldn’t figure out how to do it. That frustration is why Stellic exists—to help students make better, informed decisions.”

Compensation

• Estimated base salary, there is flexibility: $200K – $220K Offers Equity

At Stellic, total compensation packages are tailored to each candidate and take into account job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, training and current market conditions.

Stellic's Explore product is our newest frontier. It's focused on the transfer experience—giving prospective and transfer students the guidance and pathways they need, and giving universities the tools to manage transfer rules, articulation, and admissions workflows. The roadmap is wide open.

We're looking for a Product Lead who thrives in that kind of blank canvas, and who has the instincts to figure out what to build before anyone tells them.
