Strategic Finance Manager

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition but most providers dont accept insurance making therapy too expensive for most people. Headways 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. The admin work - credentialing claims payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. Weve automated that.

But were going further. Over 70000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice reimagining the experience of finding a therapist and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We arent just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
