About the Role
We’re hiring a People Operations Manager to be the connective tissue of Solstice. This is a hybrid HR and office management role that keeps our team running, our culture humming, and our NYC office firing on all cylinders. You’ll split your time roughly 50% HR / 50% office operations and executive support, partnering closely with our founders to build the systems and rituals that scale a high-performing team.
This is an in-person role for someone who thrives on ownership, moves fast, and notices the small things before anyone else does.

- Strong written and verbal communicator who can build trust across every level of the org
- Proactive operator who spots problems early and solves them without being asked
