We are an early EdTech startup at the nexus of Mental Health, Communication, and Education. Today, education is reeling from an inability to catch addressable student needs before they escalate to costly outcomes like truancy, academic disengagement, and self-harm. In fact, 70% of students have unmet mental health needs. Emote uses school-wide communication to predict who needs support and when in real-time.

As a result, we need short-term customer support and can offer an incredible growth opportunity for the right candidate.About the Role: Get experience in a fast-moving startup, develop expertise in EdTech, build connections in Silicon Valley and work with the entire founding team on a variety of projects.
