Headway
Headway’s mission is to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve created technology that helps people find great therapists through the first software‑enabled national network of providers accepting insurance.
Headway was founded in 2019, and since then we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 60,000 mental health care providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a SeriesD company with over $325 m in funding from a16z, Accel, GV, Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.
What You’ll Do
Scale Headway’s existing design system from its current state into a robust, well‑documented system that serves patients, providers, and payers.
Define the principles, patterns, and components that enable consistent, high‑quality experiences across web and mobile platforms.
Partner with the Creative team to ensure the design system reflects and amplifies Headway’s identity across all touchpoints.
Collaborate with Engineering to ensure components are built for reusability, accessibility, and performance.
Establish governance models and contribution frameworks so teams can extend the system without breaking it.
Educate and enable product teams to use the system effectively—through documentation, office hours, and hands‑on partnership.
Balance the needs of three distinct audiences while maintaining a unified Headway experience.
Identify gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities to improve the system as the product evolves.
What We’re Looking For
8+ years of experience in product design, with significant focus on design systems.
Deep expertise building and scaling design systems in complex, multi‑product environments.
Strong systems thinking—you see patterns, anticipate edge cases, and design for scale.
Fluency in designing for accessibility, responsiveness, and technical constraints.
Experience partnering with Engineering to build and maintain component libraries.
A collaborative mindset—you enable others to do their best work.
Compensation & Benefits
Base pay range: $215,000 – $254,000, plus performance‑based variable compensation and an equity grant, depending on the position and level.
Equity compensation
Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
HSA / FSA
401(k)
Work‑from‑Home stipend
Therapy reimbursement
16‑week parental leave for eligible employees
Carrot Fertility annual reimbursement and membership
13 paid holidays each year and a holiday break December 25‑31

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. Headway is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals and will provide reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities.
