About GrowthMinded

School counsellors carry a lot. GrowthMinded makes it lighter.

We’re a membership platform for school counsellors, therapists, and educators who support kids’ social-emotional growth. Members get:

• About 1,300 ready-to-use resources
• An AI assistant that finds the right resource in seconds
• A real human coach they can message
• A growing curriculum

GrowthMinded is the sister brand of Big Life Journal, the growth mindset company families have trusted since 2016, with more than 1 million email subscribers.

US and Canadian schools are already finding us on their own. We want someone on the ground to meet that interest.

The role

You’ll bring GrowthMinded to schools across Canada and US starting where you already have relationships. Team memberships range from $US 590 to about $US 15,000 a year. That makes this a fast, high-volume sale: lots of conversations, short cycles, real momentum.

What you’ll do:

• Open new conversations with school counsellors, student services leads, and principals in your own network
• Follow up on inbound inquiries from schools and turn interest into team memberships
• Run short demos and help schools choose the right team plan
• Hand schools to our customer support team for quotes, purchase orders, and invoices
• Grow single-school wins into multi-school and board-wide partnerships
• Share what you hear in the field so we can shape GrowthMinded

You might be a fit if

• You’re based in the US or Canada, ideally Ontario
• You already know people in K–12 schools: counsellors, student services teams, administrators
• You’ve worked as a school counsellor or in student services, sold edtech to US or Canadian schools, or both
• You run your own show: your schedule, your pipeline, your follow-through
• You like being paid for results

How it works

• This is an independent contractor role. You set your own hours and methods, and other non-competing clients are welcome.
• You receive a monthly retainer.
• You earn 15% commission on new school sales you bring in. You also earn it on expansions you drive, such as a school adding seats or more schools in a board joining after your sales conversations. Commission is paid once the school’s payment comes in.
• We start with a 90-day pilot with clear, shared goals.
• You’re invited to our annual in-person team strategy retreat, with all travel and expenses covered (this year: Portugal).

1. Fill out our short application form: https://forms.gle/2q7NLq3tuXD2eQgN8. You’ll share your resume, a list of 10–15 schools or boards you could start a conversation with in your first 30 days, and a link to a 2-minute video introducing yourself.
