About the Role

As Chief of Staff at Solstice, you will center your work on enabling operational excellence in operations, people and recruiting, strategy and cross-company logistics. You will drive initiatives that onboard and support top talent, build systems to create a scalable "talent flywheel," and help set the standard for best-in-class internal processes. You will also play a key role plugging operational gaps, managing the touchpoints that keep Solstice running smoothly, and partnering with executive leadership to launch strategic projects.

What you’ll be working on:

• Designing, owning, and evolving People Ops processes including onboarding, employee lifecycle management, payroll coordination, and performance reviews

• Building and implementing the infrastructure for scalable, effective recruiting: creating sourcing strategies, improving interview processes, and developing a repeatable talent flywheel

• Plugging operational gaps across the org, independently identifying challenges and implementing process improvements

• Coordinating and driving cross-functional strategic projects with teams across engineering, commercial, product, and operations

• Creating and refining systems, processes, and communication cadences that support fast company growth and high quality execution

• Acting as connective tissue between executive leadership and the wider company, translating company strategy into actionable execution and tracking progress

• Maintaining high standards for documentation, deliverables, and project management

Requirements

• Strong experience in people operations, recruiting, management consulting, fast-growing startups, or other highly cross-functional, project-driven environments

• Excellent organizational, communication, and project management skills

• Ability to lead and execute complex projects independently

• Comfort operating in an ambiguous, fast-paced, in-person startup setting

• Ability to anticipate issues and proactively solve problems

• Familiarity with tech-enabled or life sciences/healthcare environments a plus but not required
