Engineering Manager (Network Value)

Headway's mission is to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We have built the largest insurance-based therapy network in the country, and the insurers paying for it are now asking two fair questions: is it working, and is it worth it? Network Value is the team that answers the second one.

At the risk of oversimplifying it, you could describe the problem as one shoe, one size, one price. Sessions differ enormously in what they involve and in how much they help, and yet they are largely paid for as though they were the same thing. That is not carelessness on anyone's part. Patients, providers and insurers have all been working without the data that would let them be more specific, and producing that data honestly is genuinely hard.

As Engineering Manager for Network Value, you'll lead the team closing that gap: understanding our patients and our providers far better than we do today, using that to match them well, and turning the result into evidence an insurer will accept. The nuance is the job. The differences that matter are real but subtle, and being crude about them has consequences for providers' livelihoods and patients' care.
