Director of Product @ Headway

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 34,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software. 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.

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

The patient experience is at the crux of our mission here at Headway to increase affordable access. As the product leader at the helm of the patient charter, you will be responsible for not only setting the vision and strategy to ensure patients are quickly connected to the right quality provider for them but also defining how we move beyond the initial match to be a partner for patients throughout their mental health journey.

Develop a vision and strategy for how we engage and support patients throughout their mental health journey
Work closely with design, engineering, data, and other cross-functional partners to learn and ship quickly
Deeply understand and embody the voice of our patients while staying close to your team of PMs to quickly build and iterate on products for the patient journey

Have 0 -> 1 product experience: You have 7+ years of experience building net new consumer products and 2+ years of experience managing people (B2B2C product experience a plus)
Thrive in ambiguity: You love tackling ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment with an optimistic and energizing attitude
