About Us:
Grow Therapy is on a mission to serve as the trusted partner for therapists growing their practice, and patients accessing high-quality care. Powered by technology, we are a three-sided marketplace that empowers providers, augments insurance payors, and serves patients. Following the mass increase in depression and anxiety, the need for accessibility is more important than ever. To make our vision for mental healthcare a reality, we’re building a team of entrepreneurs and mission-driven go-getters. Since launching in February 2021, we’ve empowered more than ten thousand therapists and hundreds of thousands of clients across the country and insurance landscape. We’ve raised more than $178mm of funding from Sequoia Capital, Transformation Capital, TCV, SignalFire, and others.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Grow Therapy is hiring a Talent Activation Senior Manager (also known as People Business Partner) to take an innovative approach to ensure we are enabling and driving high performance across all levels of the organization, holding a high bar while providing the best possible support to our employees. This individual will foster a commitment to raising the bar for performance across the organization and enable enterprise-wide support to meet and exceed that bar in a newly created/founding team.
People Advisor & Performance Driver — Technology (80%)
You'll be one of the go-to people partners for the Technology organization and their first call for anything people-related. That means:
- Driving performance. You're co-responsible for business OKRs and actively cultivate a culture of accountability, feedback, and high standards at every level
- Coaching all levels of managers. You act as an executive coach, sounding board, and problem-solver for managers and team members alike. You're integrated into the org's operating model, not just parachuted in
- Owning talent management. You lead org design, talent planning, career pathing, headcount, and leadership development with a scale-first mindset, in partnership with senior leaders
- Supporting communications. You advise leaders on change management and help craft values-aligned messaging as the company grows and evolves

Support building the Talent Activation Function in Technology (20%)
- Run evergreen programs and special projects to continuously improve how we approach performance, feedback, learning, and engagement across Technology
- Support annual and quarterly planning and roadmapping
- Use quantitative and qualitative data to spot trends, surface insights, and proactively shape people decisions before issues arise
- You have an atypical background. Maybe you were a Chief of Staff or Consultant before moving into People, and you've also done the HRBP/People Business Partner work for at least 3 years. You bring both strategic and operational depth
- You're a high-performance operator. You have a strong track record of driving accountability, developing talent strategies, and executing on succession planning, leadership development, and career pathing
- You're a skilled coach and relationship builder. You can adapt your communication style to anyone in the org (from ICs to executives) and you build trust quickly.
- You're strategic and tactical in equal measure. You can zoom in and out with ease, and you thrive in fast-paced, constantly evolving environments
- You're autonomous and accountable. You feel ownership over business outcomes, roll up your sleeves without being asked, and bring a "whatever it takes" attitude
- You're a sharp thinker and communicator. You can simplify complex, ambiguous problems, communicate clearly in any format, and tailor your style to your audience
- You have strong business and analytical acumen. You're a systems thinker who uses data to inform decisions and influence stakeholders. You’re not just a people person, but a business partner in the truest sense.

Grow Therapy Insights
What We Do
We see technology not as a layer on top of care, but as the connective tissue that helps it grow. Grow Therapy is an online therapy platform that helps you find a therapist who gets you—and takes your insurance. Grow was founded to create end-to-end systems that make therapy easier on both sides: helping therapists launch and grow thriving private practices by removing the friction of credentialing, billing, and insurance, so they can focus on care, and helping clients actually find and afford it. Our founders come from Harvard Medical School, Stripe, and Blackstone, and bring Grow’s mission to life from the inside out, pairing bold vision with a culture of balance, belonging, and whole-person wellness. We believe change starts by empowering therapists. Grow’s smart platform helps independent providers build sustainable practices by handling credentialing, billing, and referrals, so they can focus on what matters. With business tools, a supportive clinical community, and opportunities like CE events and speaking engagements, Grow helps therapists practice with more autonomy and less administrative strain, reducing no-shows, increasing demand, and creating more space for care. We then help people find those licensed therapists who reflect their lived experience, whether that means shared racial or cultural background, language, identity, or life stage. Our platform makes it easy to search by specialty, availability, and insurance so clients can book care that fits their life and budget. Today, Grow supports thousands of therapists and prescribers across all 50 states and has delivered care to over 1 million clients. We’re in-network with 100+ major insurers, including Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, and UnitedHealthcare, and have raised more than $178M from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, TCV, Transformation Capital, SignalFire, and Plus Capital. We believe in benefits that support the whole you. That means two hours each week to care for your mental health, free access to therapy through Grow, $500 learning and $300 wellness stipends, a $1,000 remote office setup, free in-office meals, and flexible PTO with a paid December recharge week. We’re building the future of mental healthcare and that starts with how we care for our own team. If you’re excited by bold challenges and meaningful impact, Grow with us.
Why Work With Us
At Grow Therapy, we believe well-being isn’t just a perk—it’s part of how we work. From clinicians to engineers, every voice helps shape the care we build. Our mission-driven team is rethinking mental health care, supported by flexible PTO, paid winter recharge, mental health breaks, no-cost therapy through our platform, and wellness perks.
