Cartwheel is an early-stage company building a new kind of mental health program for kids that puts schools at the center. We see our role as supporting school staff who see kids every single day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means:
- Earlier intervention
- Higher student and family engagement in care
- Better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life
Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country. We’re backed by top investors including Menlo Ventures, Reach Capital, General Catalyst, BoxGroup, and Able Partners, and we're looking for mission-driven teammates to join our team.
As a Customer Success Manager, you will serve as the customer success manager and the day-to-day trusted partner to school districts, driving their success with Cartwheel and owning their renewal. You’ll serve as the quarterback between school staff and Cartwheel’s resources, ensure schools have an excellent experience collaborating with our team, and provide guidance on strategic, clinical, and operational questions as they arise. You will work with our sales team to develop a deep understanding of each of our partner districts’ needs and develop collaborative, lasting relationships with school leadership, staff, and colleagues. Partnering closely with a clinical lead, you will ensure our district partners are supported with their clinical consultative needs. As an early member of the School Success team, you will have an opportunity to contribute to the creation and iteration of the role as we grow.
Role type: This is a W2, Full-Time, Salaried position

WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build relationships with and deliver an outstanding experience for Western school district leadership, school staff, and the families they serve.
- Launch and maintain school district partnerships, promote trust in Cartwheel, and gain insight and feedback through regular communication and problem-solving with school and district leadership.
- Deliver clinical guidance and coaching to school staff as questions arise (e.g., potential fit of a student referral to Cartwheel, input on how to respond to a student situation in the building, strategic advice on building a Multi-Tiered System of Support).
- Provide Cartwheel leadership with an ongoing strategic view on districts you own, including strengths, opportunities, and risk areas.
- Share feedback on our care model, technology, and operations with the school success leadership and serve as an active thought partner on how to improve our program.
- Build, promote, and support strong collaboration and positive culture with Cartwheel’s clinical team.
- Flexible travel to districts that need targeted support or attention, when necessary.
