Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance. 

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. 

Headway was founded in 2019. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 60,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

As Senior Counsel, Corporate, you will be a key strategic partner to Headway’s Finance, Payer, and Operations teams during a pivotal growth phase for the company.  In this role, you will be the lead attorney within the Corporate function, reporting to the Associate General Counsel.  This is a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven healthcare technology company; work alongside world-class colleagues; and in an environment where Legal is viewed as a true strategic partner.  

  • You will lead Headway’s Corporate legal function as it relates to:
    • Corporate transactions – equity or debt financings, M&A, etc.
    • Maintaining and updating Management Services / Medical Practice agreements and relationships
    • Board governance, approvals, and record keeping
    • Supporting Finance and Accounting teams on legal aspects of audit and tax matters  
    • Intellectual Property and Corporate Insurance 
    • Close partnership with the Procurement and Legal Operations functions to build out corporate and contracting systems and processes
  • You’d be a great fit if you have:
    • A deep understanding of corporate work in healthcare, especially within a “friendly PC” model
    • Meaningful experience in a fast-paced, high-growth start-up environment
    • Ability to translate complex topics into clear and actionable advice for non-legal stakeholders
    • Ability to build relationships and consensus with colleagues amid competing views and priorities 
    • J.D. from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing (ability to register as NY in-house counsel required)

While we prefer candidates based in the New York metro area, we will consider exceptional candidates nationwide.


Compensation and Benefits:

The expected base pay range for this position is $172,720 - $254,000, based on a variety of factors including qualifications, experience, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for performance-based variable compensation and 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.

      • Training and professional development

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.
