You could write a simple unit file /etc/systemd/system/my-stuff.service:

[Unit]
Description=My Stuff

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/../my-script --start
ExecStop=/../my-script --stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And then enable this service with:
systemctl enable my-stuff.service

Please note you might need to add some dependencies (for example if you
need networking etc.) to make sure everything your script needs is ready
to use.
