Head of Product

*About Headway* 

1 in 4 Americans have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of them don't get help because of access and affordability issues (80% of therapists don’t directly accept insurance). We're addressing this access problem by building a marketplace that deals with the messiness of insurance behind the scenes, so patients can get affordable in-person therapy covered by insurance.

We’ve raised funding from pre-eminent VCs (backers of Facebook, Linkedin, Slack, Uber, Oscar) and the nation’s most innovative digital healthcare entrepreneurs (founders of One Medical, Flatiron Health, Clover Health--plus the founders of Seamless and Giphy because who doesn't love delivery sushi and GIFs). 

We're growing rapidly--we’re already the biggest therapy group in NYC, and in this role you’ll help build processes and products to support our massive growth and make therapy more accessible for tens of thousands and one day millions of Americans.

* The Role *

Your core role is to lead product, but you will contribute across the business to make us better as we build out a marketplace with a network of therapists, united by software, that is orders of magnitude bigger than anything that has been built before.

  • As the first dedicated product person at Headway, you will lead development of consumer-facing product, therapist facing product, and internal tools that help us scale.
  • With input from the CEO, engineering, and broader team, you will own the short and long-term product roadmap.
  • On day one you will bring hypotheses on changes you'd like to make to our customer- and therapist-facing products, and a plan to confirm these hypotheses and learn from our customers.
  • You are customer obsessed and outgoing. You enjoy working closely with our end-customers, with our therapists, and with the team here at Headway to build great product and a strong team.
  • You are data driven--building models, asking questions, and delivering answers drive core product and strategic decisions.
  • As the product leader at a rapidly growing startup, you will offer guidance and expertise beyond your core function to help us improve in all functional areas.

* Ideal Candidate*

  • You want to work on something socially impactful.
  • You have 4+ years of experience owning and executing product.
  • You’re analytical, experimental, and creative. You know when to use data, but you also have the vision to operate in areas where there are none. 
  • You’re scrappy. While you’ll build out a playbook for others to execute in the future, you’re not afraid to be a sole executor in the present.
  • You’ve launched marketplace geographies before OR you’ve worked in the healthcare space. Kudos if you’ve done both.
  • Scaling experience. You know how the team, systems, and processes will evolve through our next few rounds of funding. 
  • You have the empathy to match your outstanding intelligence. 

*Compensation* 

  • Competitive salary, very competitive equity, and robust benefits. 
  • As a mental health health company, we value mental health! While we work very, very hard for our mission, we don’t valorize working hard just for the sake of it. If you need a WFH day or to head to the gym to clear your head, we support you and won’t question your conviction in our mission.
