1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.
But we're going further. Over 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale, and building much of it with AI. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
About the RoleSince launching in 2019, Headway has grown into the largest network of mental health providers in the country — over 90,000 strong. The Provider Growth Org is the engine behind that growth, on the front lines every day connecting providers to the patients who need them most. And we're just getting started: building a better mental health system is a massive mission, and we need ambitious builders who want to help us get there. That's where you come in.
As a Provider Growth Representative (Business Development Representative), you'll help lay the foundation for how we source and qualify opportunities for this new stage of growth. The PGR Team was established in July and in only 4 months we've already booked 6,000+ meetings for our Provider Growth Associates (Account Executives). 2027 is the year we're going to scale this team massively and we're so excited for you to potentially be a part of it!
We’re a close-knit team unified by our shared goal to increase access to mental healthcare. We have a culture of collaboration, leveling each other up, and refining our outreach strategies.
