Summary Generated by Built In

Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance. 

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice. 

Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 60,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

  • Oversee recruiting systems and tools with an eye towards the future, constantly evaluating emerging technologies
  • Partner across People and business teams to build cohesive processes
  • Leverage analytics and reporting to identify bottlenecks and measure program impact across TA
  • Continuously assess and improve processes, championing change management that respects TA as the core customer
  • Build and maintain a TA Ops roadmap that aligns with long-term hiring strategy and business needs

You’d be a great fit if…

  • You understand the importance of documentation, compliance, and process consistency, especially as teams scale 
  • You build trust quickly and excel at stakeholder management across TA, People, Legal, and Finance
  • You stay curious about emerging tools and technologies, identifying opportunities to streamline workflows or improve data quality
  • You are a strong people leader who supports career development, and creates a high-performing team environment.
