Product Lead, Progress

The Progress product is the foundation everything else at Stellic is built on. Every student plan, every advisor conversation, every graduation clearance starts with an accurate representation of where a student stands against their degree requirements. We're looking for a Product Lead who wants to own that foundation — and who thinks like a lead, not a contributor. ABOUT US We're building a future where every student can move through their education with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Our platform transforms the student experience, giving them the tools they need to make the right decisions about their degree plans, track their journey, and build an education and career path that's truly their own. Stellic is a fast-growing startup backed by leading social impact investors, partnering with top institutions like Cornell, Columbia, UVA, and Ohio State to support over 1 million students across 7 countries. As we scale to serve more universities worldwide, we remain deeply committed to this mission, driven by our values, and committed to building a high-performance team that's here to make a lasting difference on both students' lives and higher education. ABOUT YOU You've built complex products before — the kind where accuracy isn't a nice-to-have, it's the whole game. You think like an owner: you don't wait to be told what to build, you figure out what matters and make it happen. You go deep with engineers rather than around them, and you hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not output. You're ready to be the own the customer impact of a product that genuinely matters. AS OUR PRODUCT LEAD FOR PROGRESS, YOU WILL OWN - The Progress product, end to end: You're the ultimate owner of one of Stellic's core products — responsible for how universities define academic requirements and how we evaluate every student's progress against them. Everything downstream depends on getting this right. - Problem decomposition: You'll take long-horizon, ambiguous challenges and break
