Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We make it easy for people to find quality in-network mental health care by removing historic barriers faced by mental health providers, payers, and patients. 

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the vast majority do not get the care they need. The primary reason is cost: the majority of therapists do not accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is prohibitively expensive for prospective patients. This is where we got our start – Headway has built the first software-enabled network of therapists who accept health insurance, making it easy for therapists to grow their practices, and possible for patients to find quality care they can afford. 

We launched in April of 2019 and are now powering 400,000+ appointments per month. To scale our vision, we’ve raised over $100 million in funding from a16z, Thrive, Accel, and Google Ventures.

About The Role

Headway’s finance function is growing fast, and we’re hiring our first Strategic Finance Lead! Reporting to our Head of Strategic Finance, you will partner with cross-functional teams to track performance, identify areas of opportunity, and support key strategic decisions. As an advisor to business leaders across the company, you will be instrumental in utilizing data to drive initiatives for growth and improvement as we continue to rapidly scale.

You will: 

  • Work closely with the business teams to track operating KPIs and support key strategic decision-making 
  • Conduct detailed analysis into data trends and work with cross-functional partners to address any implications to their strategies and the company-wide model
  • Lead the development of dashboards and presentations to track and convey progress on specific initiatives 
  • Support development of business team operating models and help drive ongoing budgeting/forecasting

You’d be a great fit if:

  • You have 5+ years of strategic finance (FP&A) experience, ideally in a mix of professional services (consulting, banking, investing) and high-growth startup finance
  • You are motivated by the opportunity to make an impact on one of our generation’s defining problems – making quality mental healthcare both accessible and affordable
  • You’re excited to work cross functionally with the business teams to develop a greater understanding of function-specific efficiency metrics and help course-correct where necessary
  • You have experience with SQL and data visualization tools such as Looker or Tableau
  • You have exceptional analytical skills with the ability to drill down into the weeds while maintaining a strategic lens
  • You’re energized by joining an early-stage startup and making immediate impact in a high-growth environment 

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.

Headway employees work remotely across the US, with the option to work from our NYC HQ.

An Insider's view of Headway

What's something quirky about your company?

We're turning the unglamorous health insurance industry into an exciting one. This team is extremely talented and passionate, striving to change the status quo and do good, all while having tons of fun. We found a winning formula at Headway: the smartest people + a familial vibe + a beautiful mission!

Niki

Business Operations

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I'm working on a project with our Growth and Operations teams, and it's been refreshing to hear each team's priorities/concerns when it comes to the product. It's important for engineers to understand how the things they build affect larger systems! So I really value working with teammates who speak to patients and healthcare providers every day.

What makes someone successful on your team?

Headway is extremely driven by our cultural principles, one being: 'Act like a Headway owner before a functional owner.' Success at Headway means prioritizing the success of our mission and acting selflessly to contribute to Headway’s goals.

What projects are you most excited about?

As our company has grown and evolved, so have the ways in which we need to protect the sensitive data that flows through our applications. I’ve recently moved to our Privacy Platforms team to help lead the charge around a revised Authentication and Authorization framework to both meet the needs of our users today and be extensible enough to satisfy
