Headway
Headway’s mission is to build a new mental health care system accessible to everyone. We’ve created a national network of over 60,000 providers, backed by technology that helps patients find great therapists through a software‑enabled platform.
Now, we’re looking for a Data Science Manager to lead insights and data science across our full patient acquisition and matching funnel—from marketing and discovery through provider matching and retention in care.
What You’ll Do
Lead and grow a team of data scientists supporting multiple product areas across the patient journey (e.g., acquisition, search, activation, retention).
Deliver high‑quality product analytics—diagnose funnel performance, identify leverage points, and surface actionable opportunities for growth.
Partner with Growth and Product to optimize acquisition strategies (SEM/SEO/AEO), evaluate efficiency and quality of leads, and connect early‑funnel actions to long‑term care outcomes.
Drive experimentation rigor—uplift standards for test design, causal inference, and statistical reporting, mentoring PMs and marketers in experimentation literacy.
Develop BI and self‑serve analytics capabilities that democratize data and empower teams to make informed decisions.
Scope and guide applied data science initiatives such as conversion prediction and LTV forecasting to improve patient outcomes and business impact.
Translate complex insights into clear, data‑driven recommendations that balance growth efficiency with Headway’s mission to expand access to care.
Influence senior leadership strategy by representing the data perspective across the full patient and provider lifecycle.
What We’re Looking For
6+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or growth analytics roles with at least 2+ years in people management.
Proven track record leading teams that span BI, product analytics, and applied data science.
Strong background in experimentation; able to set strategy and coach others.
Hands‑on technical fluency in SQL and Python/R, with experience working with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Looker).
Experience partnering across marketing and product teams to optimize full‑funnel performance.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills—able to translate technical insights into business impact.
Bonus: experience in predictive modeling for growth/retention, marketing attribution, or LTV modeling.
Why This Role is Exciting
You’ll shape analytics for the entire customer journey, not just one stage of the funnel.
You’ll build the bridge between BI, experimentation, and applied DS, ensuring the org moves with both rigor and speed.
You’ll have high visibility with senior leadership and a chance to directly influence strategy and growth.
Compensation & Benefits The expected base pay range for this position is $183,600 - $216,000, plus 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.
