Willow Health is an early-stage behavioral health company backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Seae Ventures and Emerson Collection. Willow is dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals experiencing mental health crises by providing innovative, personalized care programs accessible from the comfort of home. 
 
In the United States, one in five adults experience a mental health illness and over 12 million people have thoughts of suicide. Mental health crises can be some of the most difficult times in a person’s life, and over 17 million people seeking behavioral health care experience a delay in accessing care. Willow Health is on a mission to significantly improve this experience by expanding affordable access to high-quality, evidence-based intensive behavioral health care.

This role is ideal for someone coming from consulting, investment banking, or a strategy & operations function - particularly within the healthcare sector - who is excited to transition from advisory work to hands-on execution in a fast-growing health-tech company.

  • Highly analytical, with an ability to construct research and provide data-driven recommendations
  • Microsoft Excel fluency - this role will require significant modeling expertise
  • Ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
  • Exceptional communication, interpersonal, listening and relationship-building skills
  • Direct exposure to CEO and executive leadership
  • Ownership over high-impact, company-defining initiatives
  • Opportunity to shape payer strategy and care model innovation
  • Meaningful impact through supporting patients in behavioral health crisis
