Jobs

This is an opportunity for a driven marketing leader to build and lead a customer-centric marketing arm at a high-growth, series A startup in enterprise saas. As the first marketing leader at Stellic, you will work directly with the executive team to lead marketing initiatives for the company.

About Stellic

Stellic is helping higher ed better serve their students and reduce wasted resources. 40% of the students who join university get lost in navigating the requirements and drop out without a degree - costing $200B to institutions annually. Instead of providing personalized guidance to students, higher ed still uses 1980s archaic, fragmented systems to manage their progress. Stellic is replacing several of those systems with a unified saas platform that lets students proactively manage their progress and collaborate with their advisors. The platform also helps institutions increase their operational efficiency by 10x and automate resource allocation based on student needs/demands.

Founded by first-gen students at Carnegie Mellon in 2017, Stellic has grown into the 'most valuable platform on campus' serving all segments of higher ed from top R1 institutions (Columbia, UChicago, Duke) to large public institutions (Minnesota system, Cal State Northridge, Oklahoma) to small colleges (Colorado College, Sweet Briar). We've built a mission-centric team that enjoys a 100% renewal rate, 3x revenue growth and 89 NPS. All that helped us raise Series A funding from top-tier investors and we're now looking to expand our team to carry on the mission.
