Business Development Associate
Quick Summary
Equity Compensation Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
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 70,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 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. 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, GV, 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.
As a Business Development Associate, you will be the operational and analytical horsepower that accelerates our company’s health plan partnerships efforts with health plans across the nation ensuring we build a mental healthcare system everyone can access. This role will ultimately be on the front-line of rewiring mental healthcare in America.
Reporting to one of Headway’s Managing Principals, you will lead market analysis that shapes our prioritization of markets and payer partners, own healthcare research that will inform our health plan partnerships tact, and build out sales infrastructure that allows us to coordinate dozens of parallel efforts without breaking a sweat.
- You have 1+ years of experience in consulting, banking, or a similar role where you owned complex analytical and/or operational problems from end-to-end. Bonus points for direct healthcare experience.
- You are resourceful, scrappy, and leave no stone unturned. Where others see challenges, you see opportunities.
- You are operationally excellent, able to manage a large volume of moving pieces.
- You thrive in ambiguity, and seek out opportunities to dive into unfamiliar challenges, drive towards outcomes, and shape strategy.
- You seek an environment that fosters individual growth through open-feedback and high-autonomy.
- You are motivated by the opportunity to face off against one of our generation’s defining problems: access to mental healthcare.
