As Director, Clinical Product, you'll be the clinical voice inside our Payer & Outcomes work, partnering with product, engineering, and data teams on the tools that 80,000+ clinicians use to deliver care, and carrying that clinical perspective directly to the health plans and health systems we partner with.

What they're looking for
- An active, unrestricted license as a psychologist (PhD/PsyD) or psychiatrist (MD/DO)
- 8+ years of post-graduate clinical experience, including time partnering directly with product and engineering teams to build digital health tools
- 3+ years of experience working in payer-facing roles, ideally in technology environments
- Working fluency in how payers operate (e.g., utilization management, prior authorization, claims, and reimbursement policy) and how those mechanics shape clinical workflows
- Hands-on work with claims data, outcomes measurement, or measurement-based care programs
- Strong analytical instincts: you can define a metric, defend it, and use data to change a decision
More about this role
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.
