Job Description

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 75000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software serving over 1 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.
