ProductData ScienceHealthcare

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.

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

You will be the first dedicated AI Product Manager on the Patient side at Headway. Your mission: build AI-powered products that help patients find the right therapist, stay engaged in care, and achieve measurable improvements in their mental health.  This is not an AI-strategy-deck role. You will ship. You will write evals. You will debug prompt chains. You will partner with ML engineers and data scientists to build products that work for real patients in a HIPAA-compliant environment.  We power over 500,000 appointments per month. Now we are building AI-powered experiences to help patients find the right care and stay in it!
