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.
Not every patient finds Headway through a Google search. Millions discover us through their employer's Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a health system referral, or a payer's provider directory. These partnership-driven channels are among Headway's fastest-growing, and they need a designer who can make the handoff from a third party into care feel seamless, trustworthy, and human.
As a Senior Product Designer on the Patient team, you'll own the patient experience across our three partnership channels: Health Systems, EAP, and Payer Partnerships. Your work spans the full range, from inventing new products from scratch to scaling proven ones across new partners and segments. You'll be the only designer in the room for these channels, shaping what gets built, not just how it looks. You'll present prototypes directly in partner meetings that influence multi-million-dollar relationships.
You'll partner closely with a Staff PM, engineering, and cross-functional teams including Payer Relations, Health System BD, and Ops. You'll report to the Director of Product Design for Patient.
We're building an AI-first design team at Headway. Designers use AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and MagicPatterns to prototype and stay involved through launch and iteration directly in code. You'll start in planning mode, using Claude.ai to clarify the problem space and test assumptions. You'll prototype with Claude Code/Cursor and MagicPatterns to build and iterate on flows, letting AI generate the pixels and code while you define the right patterns, behaviors, and quality. We're looking for designers who are already working this way and see AI as a primary part of their workflow.
Compensation and Benefits:
The expected base pay range for this position is $180,000 - $225,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for 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.
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.
