About Maro
Every school counselor knows the feeling: a student in crisis lands on your caseload, and you think we could have caught this earlier. At Maro, we’re on a mission to eliminate the average 11-year gap between first symptom and treatment in youth mental health.
We partner with schools to shift from reactive, crisis-driven mental health support to proactive, universal mental health screening that identifies struggling students before they hit a breaking point. Our platform gives schools the capacity to screen every student, follow up with those who need support, engage families, and connect kids to the right care, fast.
We're growing quickly across Illinois and beyond, and we're building a passionate team of people who've lived school mental health from the inside and want to help entire systems do it better.
The RoleAs a K12 Partner Success Manager, you'll be the trusted partner to school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and administrators who are trying to build something better for their students. You'll help them implement universal screening, design follow-up workflows and create systems where fewer kids slip through the cracks.
You'll spend your time onboarding new schools, coaching teams through implementation challenges, visiting campuses, and helping partners operationalize what "proactive mental health" looks like in practice. You'll own renewals, spot expansion opportunities, and serve as the voice of your schools back to the Maro team.
This role is ideal for someone who's spent years in school-based mental health and is ready to multiply their impact by helping dozens of schools do this work well.
