1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that. But we're going further. Over 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale, and building much of it with AI. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens. We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.
Most patients open the Headway app about twice a week, almost always for logistics: join a session, message their provider, check an appointment. To them, Headway is where care gets scheduled and billed. It isn't yet a product they want to open. You'll be the PM for Home Base, the team dedicated to the Headway patient experience on native and web: the iOS app, our first Android app, and the logged-in web portal that every patient uses after they book. In 2027 the app becomes the front door to Headway. It should be a best-in-class native experience that uses everything the platform offers, backed by a web portal that removes friction instead of adding it. When a patient has their phone in hand and thinks about their care, Headway should be the first place they go. This is a product and platform role. Other teams build key features into the app, including AI-powered between-session support, goals, reviews, and rematching. You own the experience they live in: what the app is, how it's organized, how it feels, and whether patients come back.
How we'll measure it: the share of active Headway patients using the app on mobile for care (not just logistics), and how often they come back (daily and weekly engagement).
You'll work in the Home Base pod with an engineering manager, iOS, Android, and full-stack engineers, a Staff Product Designer, and a UX researcher. Your closest partner is the Staff PM for AI Patient Experience, whose features ship inside the app you own. You'll also work with Search, Profiles, Visitor Growth, Lifecycle Marketing, Product Marketing, Clinical Product, and Legal.
