Staff Data Scientist driving financial insights and revenue infrastructure strategy for a mental healthcare platform's insurance operations.
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 75,000 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.

Your mission is to provide a holistic understanding of our financial health and our revenue infrastructure. You will report into the Data team and support Headway's Insurance Group, a mission critical pillar that ensures the systems behind our insurance platform reliably power patient, provider, and payer experiences.

You will partner closely with both the Finance department (including Accounting, Strategic Finance, and FP&A teams) and Engineering, Product, and Operations teams in our Revenue Engine R&D pods to improve our revenue infrastructure and financial reporting. You will define the right questions, uncover opportunities, and work cross-functionally to turn insights into measurable improvements in how we track and report financial performance. In doing so, you will provide a timely and trusted view into company performance that shapes our customer experience and supports Headway's path to public company readiness.
Compensation and Benefits: The expected base pay range for this position is $212,000 - $265,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location.

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.
