The ideal candidate is a recognized industry influencer and thought leader—someone with a track record of peer-reviewed publications and public speaking who can bridge the gap between complex clinical data and business strategy. The compensation is highly competitive ($211k–$330k) and includes meaningful equity in a well-funded Series D startup. While the role is remote-friendly, you should be based on the East Coast to facilitate travel and partnership meetings. Standout perks include a week-long December holiday break, therapy reimbursement, and 16 weeks of parental leave. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Are a board-certified Psychiatrist with 2+ years of experience in payer or partnership roles. * Have a "superpower" for storytelling and distilling clinical outcomes into compelling narratives for non-clinical stakeholders. * Enjoy digging into large datasets to prove the value of behavioral health interventions. * Thrive in fast-paced startup environments and have experience with the "corporate practice of medicine" regulations.
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.
