About the job
At Headway, we are on a transformative mission to create an accessible mental health care system for everyone. Our innovative technology connects individuals with top therapists through the first software-enabled national network of providers who accept insurance.
In the United States, 1 in 4 individuals has a treatable mental health condition, yet many providers do not accept insurance, making therapy prohibitively expensive. Headway is committed to restructuring mental healthcare by simplifying the process for therapists to accept insurance and enabling them to expand their practices.
Founded in 2019, Headway has rapidly evolved into a vibrant, national network of over 60,000 mental healthcare professionals across all 50 states, facilitating care for more than 1 million patients. As a Series D company backed by over $325 million in funding from notable investors such as a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation, we are poised for remarkable growth.
We aim to make your time with us the most rewarding experience of your career. Join us in revolutionizing mental healthcare for the better.
