Job description

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.

As Headway’s Strategic Planning Manager, you will own the development and execution of the various company strategic planning processes to establish a tightly coordinated operating cadence that unlocks our highest potential.

• Partner closely with the executive team and senior cross-functional leaders to identify and remove roadblocks that inhibit execution of key goals and priorities
• Develop and maintain company-wide goal tracking and reporting frameworks to provide visibility into performance and opportunities for improvement
• Manage and evolve planning frameworks and templates to scale alongside the company in rapid growth

You will love this role if:

• You have 6-10+ years of experience in operational roles at high-growth tech companies, including background in strategy, strategic planning, business operations, or management consulting
• You are operationally excellent, able to manage a large volume of moving pieces without breaking a sweat
• You are a collaborator that proactively partners across teams while holding them accountable for results
• You are extremely detail oriented and love building systems that scale
