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 60,000 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.

At Headway, our mission is to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. Behind the magic for patients to find right and predictable care is our robust design system, insurance platform and internal tools. 

As the Design Manager for this team, you will help contribute to our mission by making Headway’s operation more efficient, by building a powerful design system, strategic content design, wildly predictable insurance experience and robust internal tools. In this role, you will lead and continue building a talented team of product designers, design system designers and content designers.

  • Manage the internal tooling experiences that helps Headway operate efficiently.
  • Hire, lead, and coach a team of design system designers, content designers, and product designers responsible for design systems and foundational experiences.

Experience we're seeking:
