Headway's mission is to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. The business problem is that 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.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or growth analytics roles, with at least 2+ years in people management.
  • Proven track record leading teams that span BI, product analytics, and applied data science.
  • Strong background in experimentation; able to both set strategy and coach others.
  • Hands-on technical fluency in SQL and Python/R, with experience working with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Looker).
  • Experience partnering across marketing and product teams to optimize full-funnel performance.
  • Bonus: experience in predictive modeling for growth/retention, marketing attribution, or LTV modeling.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and grow a team of data scientists supporting multiple product areas across the patient journey (e.g., acquisition, search, activation, retention).
  • Deliver high-quality product analytics — diagnose funnel performance, identify leverage points, and surface actionable opportunities for growth.
  • Partner with Growth and Product to optimize acquisition strategies (SEM/SEO/AEO), evaluate efficiency and quality of leads, and connect early-funnel actions to long-term care outcomes
  • Drive experimentation rigor — uplevel standards for test design, causal inference, and statistical reporting, while mentoring PMs and marketers in experimentation literacy
  • Develop BI and self-serve analytics capabilities that democratize data and empower teams to make informed decisions
  • Scope and guide applied data science initiatives such as conversion prediction and LTV forecasting to improve both patient outcomes and business impact
  • Translate complex insights into clear, data-driven recommendations that balance growth efficiency with Headway’s mission to expand access to care

Other

  • This is a highly cross-functional role that partners closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Design leaders.
  • The ideal candidate brings both technical rigor and empathy for the patient and provider experience — someone who can translate data into strategic decisions that improve access to care and business performance alike.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — able to “translate” technical insights into business impact.
  • Influence senior leadership strategy by representing the data perspective across the full patient and provider lifecycle.
  • You’ll have high visibility with senior leadership and a chance to directly influence strategy and growth.
