Brightwheel’s vision is high quality early education for every child. We pursue this by directly supporting teachers in the classroom, engaging parents in the development of their kids, and enabling the small businesses that make up the backbone of the $175 billion early education industry.

  • Establish scalable systems and workflows that streamline productivity and ensure high-quality pipeline handoffs.
  • Shape and sustain a high-performance, engaged sales culture where reps feel motivated, supported, and excited to grow at brightwheel.

What You’ve Done

  • 2–4 years of experience in sales leadership, preferably in a high volume, transactional sales cycle.
  • Proven success leading teams to achieve and exceed pipeline generation or revenue targets.
  • Demonstrated ability to coach and develop sales talent, raising performance across a team.
  • Strong analytical and data-driven management approach; experienced with CRM and sales engagement tools.
