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 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 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, and building much of it with AI. 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.
About the Team & Role
Headway's Patient Growth Marketing team helps people find affordable, in-network mental health care. Paid marketing is a major driver of how new patients find Headway, and we are building paid social and premium video (OLV/CTV) into scaled, efficient growth engines. As our Digital Marketing Channel Manager for Paid Social & Premium Video, you will be the senior, hands-on owner of these channels. You will also be AI-native at your core, using AI and AI agents to do the work that would traditionally take a full team. You will report to the Director of Patient Growth Marketing.
You Will
Own paid social (Meta) end to end: strategy, budget, buying, optimization, and scaling to efficient CAC
Launch and scale premium video (OLV and CTV), from test design through scaled, measurable programs
Lead creative strategy and testing with our internal Creative team, external agencies, and Product Marketing: shape concepts, write sharp briefs, and know what great looks like
Build AI and agent workflows that automate and speed up channel work: creative variation, campaign builds, QA and pacing, reporting, and insights
Design incrementality tests (holdouts, geo tests) and turn results into clear budget and creative decisions
Share learnings and AI playbooks that raise the bar across Patient Growth
You’d be a great fit if…
You have experience managing Meta ad budgets of $50M+ per year
You want to be an IC: you love being in the accounts and building, and you do not need a team under you to have big impact
You are AI-native, with concrete examples of AI processes or agents you have built yourself or with help, that changed how work gets done
You have great taste: you are a creative thinker who brings a performance-first mindset while protecting the brand
You are rigorous with data and measurement, and comfortable with incrementality, attribution, and MMM trade-offs
Nice to have: healthcare or regulated-category advertising experience
Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA, 401(k) including match for 2027!, Carrot Fertility reimbursement, and paid parental, medical and caregiver leave.
