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 45,000 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.

About the Team & Role

At Headway, our Customer Experience team is focused on delivering exceptional support to both providers and patients. As we scale our operations and expand into new areas like Community, we’re looking to ensure the seamless rollout of new initiatives and continuous improvements across our operational landscape.

We’re hiring a Customer Experience Operations Project Manager to serve as the operator who oversees the operational rollout and continuous improvement of our operating model and helps us build a seamless experience for our customers. You will work at the center of cross-functional teams — Customer Care, Community, Product, Systems, Workforce Management, Vendor Management and more — to ensure smooth execution of high-priority initiatives from incubation to full rollout. This role is about connecting the dots, ensuring alignment, and making sure that our operational engine runs smoothly as we scale.

This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, is energized by 0 to 1 problem solving, and wants to see tangible outcomes from their work. You’ll play an essential role in ensuring our frontline teams have what they need to succeed and that our strategic initiatives are executed effectively.

In this role, you will:

  • Serve as the operational project manager and coordinator for Customer Experience initiatives, with a primary focus on Customer Care and later expanding to Community.
  • Lead cross-functional coordination to ensure smooth execution of operational rollouts, from pilot to scale.
  • Partner closely with Product, Systems, WFM, Vendor Management, and frontline teams to remove blockers and drive results.
  • Understand operational processes and workflows in depth to ensure successful integration of new initiatives.
  • Develop structured processes to identify and prioritize continuous improvement opportunities.
  • Create and maintain playbooks and documentation to enable successful handoff to operational owners once initiatives stabilize.
  • Track progress, manage timelines, and ensure accountability across teams.

You’d be a great fit if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in operations, business analytics, or strategic consulting roles, with exposure to customer service or customer experience environments a strong plus.
  • Are passionate about understanding operational processes, workflows, and how new initiatives fit into (or improve) them.
  • Are a strong operator with excellent project management skills and a knack for bringing structure to ambiguous environments.
  • Love collaborating cross-functionally and excel at managing multiple stakeholders to drive alignment and deliver results.
  • Have a strong sense of ownership and are energized by building processes from the ground up.
  • Are motivated by driving meaningful impact for providers and patients, and seeing your work translate into real-world improvements.
  • Possess foundational comfort with operational data and can interpret trends to inform decision-making

Compensation and Benefits

The expected base pay range for this position is $97,240- $172,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for performance-based variable compensation and an equity grant, depending on the position and level.

We are committed to offering a comprehensive and competitive total rewards package, including robust health and wellness benefits, retirement savings, and meaningful ownership opportunities through equity. Compensation decisions are made holistically, ensuring fairness and alignment with market benchmarks while recognizing individual contributions and potential.

  • Benefits offered include:
    • Equity Compensation
    • Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
    • HSA / FSA
    • 401K
    • Work-from-Home Stipend
    • Therapy Reimbursement
    • 16-week parental leave for eligible employees

    • 13 paid holidays each year as well as a Holiday Break during the week between December 25th and December 31st
    • Flexible PTO
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
    • Training and professional development

We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.

Safe Remote Job Search Tips

Verify Employer Thoroughly

Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.

Never Pay to Get a Job

Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.

Safeguard Your Personal Information

Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.

Scrutinize Communication & Interviews

Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.

Beware of Unrealistic Offers

If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.

Insist on a Formal Contract

Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
