About the job
At Headway, we are on a transformative mission to create a mental health care system that is accessible to everyone. Our innovative technology connects individuals with exceptional therapists through the nation’s first software-enabled network of providers that accept insurance.
In the U.S., 1 in 4 people face treatable mental health conditions, yet a significant number of providers do not accept insurance, rendering therapy unaffordable for many. Headway is revolutionizing this landscape by empowering therapists to accept insurance and expand their practices.
Founded in 2019, Headway has rapidly developed into a diverse network of over 60,000 mental health care providers across all 50 states, utilizing our platform to serve over 1 million patients. As a Series D company, we have secured over $325 million in funding from top-tier investors including a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation.
We strive to make your experience here the most fulfilling of your career. Join us and help transform mental health care for the better.
