Staff Data Analyst, Strategic Finance

Building a new mental healthcare system at Headway is only possible because of the insights and leverage that data can provide. The data team at Headway is a small but mighty team designing the infrastructure, implementing pipelines, and driving the analytics and insights to build the mental healthcare system of the future (and have a fun time while doing it!). The data team collaborates deeply with partner teams across the company to identify and drive areas for operational improvement, unlock key insights through infrastructure and data visibility, educate the company on data and how to become more data-driven, and uses technical expertise and science to solve the mental healthcare industry’s most challenging problems.

• Product Analytics: understands how users interact with our product so we can deliver better user experiences.
• Data Science: delivers data as a product to power our intelligent therapist-matching, as well as our smart-survey technologies.
