Customer Success Manager

Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis. 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.
