Description
Soluna is on a mission to solve one of renewable energy’s biggest challenges: wasted power. Our data centers convert excess solar, hydro, and wind energy into productive computational work, such as Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. By co-locating with renewable power sources, we bring demand directly to the source, helping power plants increase revenue while contributing more megawatts to the grid.
We are looking for a Stock Administration Lead to join our world-class team.
As Soluna's first dedicated equity hire, you will own and operate our equity programs end-to-end — from day-to-day grant processing and Section 16 compliance to a high-visibility transfer agent transition project. This is a build role at a NASDAQ-listed public company where the programs are growing faster than the infrastructure that supports them. You'll bring institutional discipline, upgrade our equity incentive plans, and partner directly with Finance, Legal, and the Board to get it done right.
You'll be the internal expert employees, directors, and executives turn to for everything equity-related — someone who has seen what good looks like at a scaling public company and knows how to build toward it. This role is fully remote.
What You'll Do
Plan Administration & Grant Processing
Own all equity plan administration across Soluna's 2021 and 2023 Stock Incentive Plans, including RSU grants, restricted stock awards, and stock option processing for employees, directors, and consultants
Administer and maintain our equity management platform, ensuring grant data, vesting schedules, and participant records are accurate, current, and audit-ready
Build and document scalable processes for grant approvals, equity onboarding for new hires, and a participant education program that helps employees understand what they own
Transfer Agent Transition
Lead the transfer agent transition project from vendor evaluation and selection through data migration, legal coordination, and shareholder communications — bringing it in on time and with zero errors
Serve as the primary point of contact with our transfer agent (currently Equiniti Trust Company) on day-to-day shareholder recordkeeping, DTC activity, and registered holder communications
Evaluate equity technology upgrades that improve participant experience, reduce manual work, and support Soluna's growth
Compliance & Reporting
Develop a working understanding of Soluna’s capital table and provide inputs to calculate the EPS & diluted EPS
Act as backup support for other stock issuances (ATM, SEPA, warrants, etc.) as needed
Manage all Section 16 compliance: prepare and file Form 4s, maintain the insider trading window calendar, and serve as the go-to resource for officers and directors on trading and equity questions
Coordinate Drive coordination with outside counsel, CFO, CAO and Financial Reporting Manager on proxy statement equity disclosures, including executive and director compensation tables and plan share reserve calculations under Soluna's dynamic share pool structure; contribute to content creation and preparation of all needed documentation
Partner with Payroll and Tax on income reporting for equity award vesting and exercises (W-2, 1099, supplemental withholding, FICA)
Stay current on SEC rules, Nasdaq listing standards, and ASC 718 requirements to keep Soluna's program compliant and audit-ready as the company scales.
