United States only

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 45,000 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 Team & Role

At Headway, our Customer Experience team is focused on delivering exceptional support to both providers and patients. As we scale our operations and expand into new areas like Community, we’re looking to ensure the seamless rollout of new initiatives and continuous improvements across our operational landscape.

We’re hiring a Customer Experience Operations Project Manager to serve as the operator who oversees the operational rollout and continuous improvement of our operating model and helps us build a seamless experience for our customers. You will work at the center of cross-functional teams — Customer Care, Community, Product, Systems, Workforce Management, Vendor Management and more — to ensure smooth execution of high-priority initiatives from incubation to full rollout. This role is about connecting the dots, ensuring alignment, and making sure that our operational engine runs smoothly as we scale.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, is energized by 0 to 1 problem solving, and wants to see tangible outcomes from their work. You’ll play an essential role in ensuring our frontline teams have what they need to succeed and that our strategic initiatives are executed effectively.

In this role, you will:

  • Serve as the operational project manager and coordinator for Customer Experience initiatives, with a primary focus on Customer Care and later expanding to Community.
  • Lead cross-functional coordination to ensure smooth execution of operational rollouts, from pilot to scale.
  • Partner closely with Product, Systems, WFM, Vendor Management, and frontline teams to remove blockers and drive results.
  • Understand operational processes and workflows in depth to ensure successful integration of new initiatives.
  • Develop structured processes to identify and prioritize continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Create and maintain playbooks and documentation to enable successful handoff to operational owners once initiatives stabilize.
  • Track progress, manage timelines, and ensure accountability across teams.

You’d be a great fit if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in operations, business analytics, or strategic consulting roles, with exposure to customer service or customer experience environments a strong plus.
  • Are passionate about understanding operational processes, workflows, and how new initiatives fit into (or improve) them.
  • Are a strong operator with excellent project management skills and a knack for bringing structure to ambiguous environments.
  • Love collaborating cross-functionally and excel at managing multiple stakeholders to drive alignment and deliver results.
  • Have a strong sense of ownership and are energized by building processes from the ground up.
  • Are motivated by driving meaningful impact for providers and patients, and seeing your work translate into real-world improvements.
  • Possess foundational comfort with operational data and can interpret trends to inform decision-making

Compensation and Benefits

The expected base pay range for this position is $116,960 - $172,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for performance-based variable compensation and an equity grant, depending on the position and level.

We are committed to offering a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package, including robust health and wellness benefits, retirement savings, and meaningful ownership opportunities through equity. Compensation decisions are made holistically, ensuring fairness and alignment with market benchmarks while recognizing individual contributions and potential.

  • Benefits offered include:
    • Equity Compensation
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
    • HSA / FSA
    • 401K
    • Work-from-Home Stipend
    • Therapy Reimbursement
    • 16-week parental leave for eligible employees
    • Carrot Fertility annual reimbursement and membership
    • 13 paid holidays each year as well as a Holiday Break during the week between December 25th and December 31st
    • Flexible PTO
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
    • Training and professional development

We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.

We're building a new mental healthcare system. Tens of millions of Americans seek mental health care every day, but the vast majority never get the care they need. Headway is solving this, and we’re doing it all through software.

One in four Americans have a treatable mental health condition, but most don’t get care. The number one reason is price.

70% of therapists don’t accept insurance because of the administrative burden. This means individuals have to pay out of pocket prices they can’t afford.

How we're fixing it

Headway is building the first asset-free national network of therapists who accept insurance. This helps therapists build their practices while helping individuals find great care they can afford.

Our core values bring Headway’s mission to life

  • Think future first: We think big, even when the task feels small. We seek opportunities to reimagine, and take time to build for the future.

  • Act like a Headway owner: We all pitch in with ideas to improve the products we build and the ways we operate, even when they’re outside of our roles. We collaborate to make Headway as a whole the best it can be.

  • The first time is always handmade: We believe that building amazing products means starting by doing things that don’t scale. We roll up our sleeves, get creative, and engage deeply with the people we are building for.

  • Be relationship-obsessed: We care deeply about our relationships with those who make Headway what it is: our providers, patients, payers, and each other.

  • Invest in yourself to invest in our mission: We take the time to invest in our own health and wellness, and support each other in doing so. It’s how we bring our best selves to work, and it’s essential to our mission.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company

People are their happiest, healthiest, and best selves when they know their team values them for who they are. At Headway, we strive to build a team with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences not just because it is a business imperative, but because it is the right thing to do.
