Cartwheel
US - Massachusetts - Cambridge
January 9, 2025

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.

Product designers at Cartwheel have the unique opportunity to bring modern, user-friendly interfaces to industries that historically haven't prioritized user experience - healthcare and education. In this role, you will conduct user research and collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Data teams to translate user needs and business goals into intuitive, impactful experiences. At Cartwheel, we fundamentally believe that strong design is an important part of delivering optimal mental healthcare to the student population we serve.
