Account Executive, New Business — Mid-Size Districts (K12 Sales)

• Account Executive, New Business — Mid-Size Districts
• Daybreak Health | 100% Remote | Full-time

• About the role
• Pure new-logo, outside sales. You generate your own pipeline and you close it. No renewals, no upsell book. Roughly 40% prospecting, 60% running deals end to end. You'll sell into school districts with 2,000–5,000 students across Daybreak's eight active states, where we already have signed partnerships and referenceable outcomes.

About Daybreak Health

Daybreak partners with school districts to make sure any student who needs mental health care can actually get it. The gap we're closing is real: the recommended ratio is one school psychologist per 500 students, and the national reality is closer to one per 1,200, which means families wait months while counselors carry impossible caseloads. We match every student to a clinician based on language, culture, identity, and what they're actually working through, usually starting care within a week or two of a referral and at no cost to the family. It works. 81% of students improve on standardized clinical measures, 92% of families report meaningful behavioral change at home, and 80% of school staff see better attendance, grades, and behavior. We're backed by Union Square Ventures, Lux Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Maven Ventures, and Y Combinator , and we already serve districts representing more than a million students. That still leaves most of the country without an answer, which is exactly where this role comes in.
