Chief of Staff, Clinical

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. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that. But we're going further.

Over 85,000 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 aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens. 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. ABOUT THE ROLE Headway is hiring a Chief of Staff for its Clinical organization. This team sets the quality and clinical standards for care delivered by tens of thousands of clinicians, and ensures our products are clinically sound, ethically designed, compliant with evolving standards, and aligned with best practices in patient safety and quality.

As Headway grows from a growth-stage company into a lasting institution, the Clinical team is taking on more cross-functional work, and that work is getting more complex. You'll be the operating layer that makes that work run. You'll partner directly with the Head of Clinical and the Clinical leadership team to turn strategy into clear goals with owners and dates, then make sure the work gets done. You'll run the Clinical org's operating rhythm and lead initiatives that don't have a natural home.

This is not a coordinator role, and you won't own a clinical program. You'll own how work moves through a high-functioning, mission-critical organization. YOU WILL - Drive cross-functional initiatives. Turn unclear, high-priority work into plans with owners and milestones. See it through across Clinical, Product, Engineering, Legal and Compliance, Marketing and Operations. Raise blockers early, and close the gap between what was decided and what actually happens.
