- You are passionate about finance, marketing analytics, and scaling a high-growth business, we’d love to hear from you
- You have 4-6 years of professional experience, ideally in a mix of financial services (Consulting / Equity Research / Private Equity) and highly analytical roles at a fast-growing company (Strategic Finance / Strategy & Ops / BizOps)
- You are highly proficient in Google Sheets (advanced formulas) and Looker (or similar BI tools) and comfortable working with large datasets

- You will collaborate closely with marketing, growth, and finance leaders to assess marketing performance, CAC efficiency, TAM opportunities, and monetization strategies
- This role is an opportunity to move beyond pure finance into a marketing-finance strategy role, where data meets decision-making to drive high-impact growth investments
- Build and maintain financial models that assess marketing spend efficiency, performance, and impact
- Support budget allocation, forecasting, and scenario planning to optimize marketing investments
- Analyze large datasets in Looker and Google Sheets to evaluate acquisition funnel efficiency and marketing effectiveness

- Ensure data accuracy and develop dashboards and reporting tools to track key marketing-finance KPIs
Our take
1 in 4 US citizens are currently living with treatable mental health conditions, however, a vast majority of people are unable to access the care they need, the primary reason being cost. Headway connects clients with therapists who accept insurance as payment and provides independent practitioners with the tools and resources needed to serve their patients and manage administrative workloads.
Headway’s concept is timely, with national mental health under particular strain following events from the past few years. The company facilitates over 300,000 appointments per month and has attracted backing from the likes of Accel and Google Ventures.
Covering 16 states and the District of Columbia, the company intends to broaden its presence across the US using its 2023 Series C funding of $125 million. This is a crucial avenue for further growth, as medical care deserts across the US mean the potential market is vast.
