Account Executive

Remote

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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Account Executive on the School Sales team, you will help us build on our early success – 160 district partnerships across 9 states – by taking interested districts through the sales process from initial presentation to close. As we continue to expand, you’ll be part of the team that makes Cartwheel a household name for supporting school district mental health programs! 

Cartwheel’s School Sales Team is on the front line for our company, sharing Cartwheel’s mission with school districts, deeply understanding their needs, and offering Cartwheel’s care model as a solution to those needs. As we do this, we build strong, authentic relationships with our prospective school district partners and go above and beyond in supporting them throughout the sales process.

  • Build strong and trusting relationships with school district main points of contact to help them navigate the buying process in their district
  • Lead tailored presentations on Cartwheel to school district decision-makers (Superintendents, Assistant Superintendents and Directors) virtually and, on occasion, in-person
  • Share pricing and project scopes with district buying committees and help them find creative ways to fund Cartwheel’s work 
  • Collaborate with members of Cartwheel’s School Success Team to ensure a smooth handoff between the Sales and School Success teams once a district is signed on to work with Cartwheel

  • Experience presenting virtually and in-person across a variety of stakeholders 
  • Experience preparing error-free client-facing materials (proposals, email communication, etc.)
  • A demonstrated ability to steer a conversation by pivoting quickly, overcoming objections, and solving problems in the moment 
  • Experience synthesizing information gathered through research and conversation, and connecting that information to Cartwheel’s solution 
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple sales opportunities with competing timelines at once
  • An openness to collaborate frequently and productively with sales development and marketing team members 
  • Passion working with schools on mental health issues

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
