About the role

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.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of legal experience, including at least 2 years in-house
  • Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth start-up environment (healthcare preferred)
  • Hands-on ownership of complex processes like commercial contracting at scale, and the judgment to balance risk and trade-offs with the right mix of fidelity and velocity

  • Ability to translate complex topics into clear and actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders
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.

We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
