This role is designed for early-career professionals (1+ years of experience) transitioning from high-intensity backgrounds like management consulting or investment banking. While it sits within the Sales category, it is an analytical and operational powerhouse role focused on "rewiring" the American mental healthcare system. The ideal candidate is someone who can dismantle complex problems, manage high-volume workflows, and influence strategy through data. The compensation is highly competitive for an entry-level position ($75k–$111k), supplemented by meaningful equity in a well-funded Series D company. The role is fully remote with a New York-based hub, offering a great balance of flexibility and high-growth potential. Notable perks include a work-from-home stipend, therapy reimbursement, and a dedicated "Holiday Break" between Christmas and New Year’s. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have at least one year of experience in consulting, banking, or healthcare operations. * Are a "spreadsheet wizard" who loves using market analysis to drive business decisions. * Enjoy building internal infrastructure and sales processes from the ground up. * Are mission-driven to solve the accessibility crisis in mental healthcare.
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.
