Job description

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.

To power this mission, we're building a world-class Operations team that enables efficiency, growth, and quality.

This role is core to ensuring the operational health of our business and will provide you with deep exposure to the unique mechanics of the healthcare system. This is an opportunity to get hands-on in a data- and product-first environment and own outcomes core to the success of our business. 

 

  • You Will: 
    • Drive the build, execution, monitoring & ongoing implementation of scalable products and processes that enable us to deliver on core business challenges
    • Leverage your operational expertise to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and automation
    • Support and lead cross-functional efforts with our product, engineering, payer, and CX teams to drive core ops processes and achieve team OKRs.
  • You’d be a great fit if…
    • You have 3-5 years of experience in consulting / operations / investment banking or related experience; operations experience at a high-growth startup is a plus.
    • You are a self-starter, and are constantly pushing toward clarity and execution.
    • You are highly data-driven and can drive complex analyses to identify key actionable insights.
    • You are a collaborator who proactively partners across teams while holding others and yourself accountable for business results.
