What the job involves
- As a Staff Data Scientist for Finance and Accounting, you will drive data insights strategy for Headway's financial ecosystem
- Your mission is to provide a holistic understanding of our financial health and our revenue infrastructure
- You will report into the Data team and support Headway's Insurance Group, a mission critical pillar that ensures the systems behind our insurance platform reliably power patient, provider, and payer experiences
- Accurate and complete financial visibility is a core part of our operations and essential to Headway's growth
- You will partner closely with both the Finance department (including Accounting, Strategic Finance, and FP&A teams) and Engineering, Product, and Operations teams in our Revenue Engine R&D pods to improve our revenue infrastructure and financial reporting
- You will define the right questions, uncover opportunities, and work cross-functionally to turn insights into measurable improvements in how we track and report financial performance
- In doing so, you will provide a timely and trusted view into company performance that shapes our customer experience and supports Headway's path to public company readiness
- Drive insights and decisions through strategic analysis, reporting, and predictive modeling
- Design a metrics framework that connects our revenue infrastructure to financial outcomes, surfacing gaps in our data and reporting
- Define and drive the measurement strategy for collections loss. Build the frameworks we use to understand where and why loss occurs, set targets for improvement, and identify the highest-ROI opportunities to reduce loss so they can be translated into cross-functional initiatives
- Build forecasts that inform staffing decisions and help us estimate how we’re tracking against goals
- Partner cross-functionally to ensure our revenue systems provide the auditability and data traceability we need to be GAAP compliant and audit-ready
- Translate complex technical findings into clear, actionable recommendations for executive stakeholders
Our take
In the US, 1 in 4 citizens are living with treatable mental health conditions. But a vast majority of people are unable to access the care they need, often due to cost. Headway connects clients with therapists who accept insurance as payment, and provides independent practitioners with the tools and resources needed to both serve their patients and manage administrative workloads.
Headway’s concept is timely, with national mental health under particular strain following recent events. The company facilitates over 600,000 appointments per month and has attracted backing from the likes of Accel and Google Ventures. It is working to broaden its presence across the US while building out its product and pursuing the application of AI in health care.
