1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.

But we're going further. Over 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale, and building much of it with AI. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.

We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

About The Role

We're looking for Product Managers across Senior, Staff, Principal, and Senior Principal levels who are curious builders, eager to drive company level impact and to build in an environment where AI is a core part of the toolkit.

We are hiring across Patient, Provider, Payer, and Platform. The right candidates will bring strong product fundamentals and a willingness to build with AI in a regulated, high-stakes industry. Product Managers at Headway own product areas end-to-end: setting strategy, partnering deeply with engineering, data science, and design, and driving outcomes that move the company.

The way we are building is continuously evolving, and the size of opportunity for Headway to leverage AI is massive. We sit at the intersection of healthcare delivery, complex insurance systems, and a multi-sided marketplace serving tens of thousands of providers and millions of patients.

The Problems We're Solving

For Patients

Finding the right therapist, understanding your insurance benefits, and staying in care shouldn't be hard. Today it is. We're building AI-powered matching and personalized care navigation that help patients get into — and stay in — mental health care at scale. One million patients a month ask for a referral to a mental health provider. We're building the systems that ensure they actually get there.

For Providers

Therapists spend a staggering amount of time on administrative tasks — credentialing, documentation, scheduling, billing — instead of with their patients. We're using AI to automate clinical workflows, simplify complex insurance requirements, and give providers more time to do what they came here to do. The goal: a thriving practice on Headway that practically runs itself.

For Payers

Health insurers are asking harder questions: Is care on Headway actually working? Is it worth what we're paying? We're using AI to answer them at scale — measuring clinical outcomes, building dashboards that demonstrate responsible care, and moving toward a model where patients are matched to the right care pathways and providers are aligned around better outcomes. This work protects Headway's standing with insurers and opens doors to deeper, more strategic partnerships.

For Platform

The infrastructure underneath Headway — billing, claims, payments, and trust and safety — needs to scale reliably at the speed of our growth. We’re using AI to automate complex, high-volume workflows, detect fraud and errors faster, and build systems that get smarter over time. This is foundational infrastructure with direct impact on Headway's economics and compliance posture.
