## About the role

Headway is looking for a Principal, Clinical Strategy and Execution to own how our clinical organization runs. Our clinical functions — clinical product, clinical quality, patient safety, clinical education, and more — carry a set of standing obligations that grows every quarter: governance committees, the OKR cycle, the clinical policy lifecycle, the clinical risk register, and an expanding portfolio of clinical programs.

## What they're looking for

- An active clinical license as a master’s level therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT), doctorate level clinical psychologist (PhD/PsyD), or other psychiatric clinician (PMHNP-BC, MD/DO), with 7+ years of experience in mental health settings
- Comfort with ambiguity and a builder's instinct. You build durable systems from scratch, manage complexity without dropping details, and anticipate and solve problems before they come to clinical leadership's attention
- Experience with clinical governance and policy work. For example, supporting committees, moving policies or protocols through review and approval, or contributing to risk, accreditation, or audit processes in a clinical or healthcare setting
- A data-informed approach. You set baselines and targets, partner with data teams, and report progress in numbers
- Real collaboration skill without formal authority. You inform senior clinicians and cross-functional partners, and you hold people accountable to timelines and commitments without jeopardizing the working relationship
- Motivation from the problem. You want to work on one of our generation's defining challenges: access to affordable, high-quality mental healthcare
