Full Job Description

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. How companies buy things sounds mundane. It isn't – not at Headway's stage. Every vendor decision shapes how fast we move, how much we spend, and whether our teams have the tools they need to help more people access mental healthcare. As we scale, procurement becomes a strategic lever: the difference between a company that operates with discipline and one that doesn't. We're looking for a Director of Procurement who sees this not as a back-office function, but as one of the most operationally important roles at a company building something that matters. You'll work directly with our executive team and leaders across Finance, IT, Legal, Security, and Compliance – not just to manage vendors, but to build the systems and judgment that let Headway grow without losing control of cost or risk. You'll establish how we make purchasing decisions, evaluate partners, and create
