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.

About the Role

~1 min read

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!
