Strategic Finance Lead GTM

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 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. 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.
