Working at ThinkCERCA
Join a mission-driven team committed to providing schools and districts with the essentials to spark courageous thinking.
What We Stand For

Mission-Driven
Our mission to spark courageous thinking is what binds us together as colleagues and helps guide all our decisions.

Empathetic
We cannot achieve our mission without truly putting ourselves in the shoes of students, teachers, and administrators whenever possible.

Collaborative
We operate at our best when we continually seek input from other team members and departments.

Reflective
We represent students and educators from all backgrounds, so we owe it to our partners to hire people with a wide range of life experiences.

Inclusive
We maintain a supportive environment for all team members regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and age.

Transparent
Transparency creates trust. We strive to make visibility into company goals, departments, financials, and hiring practices a priority.
A Growth Mindset Organization
Like many of our partner schools and districts, ThinkCERCA is an organization that embraces a growth mindset. Carol Dweck, best known for her research on mindset psychology, found that employees at organizations with a culture of development mindset reported having higher levels of trust, ownership, and commitment, and believed that their organization fostered more innovation and collaboration.
