About The Position

Early education is one of the most important determinants of childhood outcomes, a critical support for working families, and a $175B market that remains underserved by modern technology. Brightwheel is the largest, fastest growing, and most loved platform in early ed, trusted by millions of educators and families every day. We are a three-time Cloud 100 company, backed by top investors including Addition, Bessemer, Emerson Collective, Lowercase Capital, Notable Capital, and Mark Cuban.
Our team is passionate, talented, and customer-focused. We embody our Leadership Principles in our work and culture. We are a distributed team with remote employees across every US time zone, as well as select offices in the US and internationally.
You are a strategic and execution-oriented recruiter who takes full ownership of hiring outcomes. You operate with urgency and sound judgment, balancing speed with a consistently high bar for talent. You think critically about how to approach each search, using data and insights to guide decisions while staying adaptable in a fast-paced environment. You build trust quickly with stakeholders and aren’t afraid to challenge when needed. You influence hiring decisions with clarity and conviction, always in service of raising the quality of talent. You are deeply curious about how AI can transform recruiting. You don’t just use AI tools—you rethink workflows, experiment with new approaches, and push toward more scalable, AI-native ways of working. You’re excited to help others do the same.
