Director of Product, CX Product

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 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 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. 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 This Role Every month, hundreds of thousands of patients and providers interact with Headway's support systems. Today, most interactions are handled by human agents working across disconnected tools. We believe CX is a product, not just a department — and the right product leader can transform how Headway supports its customers while dramatically improving both satisfaction and cost efficiency. Responsibilities Define the vision and strategy for Headway's CX product — spanning AI-powered resolution, agent tooling, proactive engagement, channel strategy, knowledge systems, and the feedback loops that connect support insights back to the product. Build and lead a team of product managers focused on reducing cost-to-serve while increasing resolution quality and customer satisfaction. Own the AI resolution layer — build the agentic workflows and API integrations that enable the AI agent to actually resolve problems, not just answer questions. Define the autonomy framework: what AI handles without human involvement, what needs guardrails, and what requires a human. Build proactive engagement — systems that contact customers before they discover problems. Shift Headway's CX from reactive to proactive. Launch and unify all contact channels — email, text, and voice — with intelligent routing that delivers differentiated experiences based on customer context, value, and issue type. Own the knowledge and quality layer — machine-readable SOPs, AI evaluation frameworks and crisis escalation pathways. Partner deeply with CX Operations to build agent tooling that makes human agents dramatically more effective — AI copilot, full journey context, auto-generated summaries. Close the feedback loop: build the system that identifies the highest-impact product defects driving support volume and surfaces them to insurance platform teams for upstream fixes. Establish measurement frameworks that connect CX product investments to business outcomes. Ideal Candidate You are a product leader with 8+ years of experience, including at least 3 years managing PMs, with a track record of building CX/support products at scale. You have a strong point of view on how AI will transform customer support — and you've shipped AI-powered CX products. You've launched or scaled multi‑channel CX systems and used intelligent routing for personalized experiences. You've demonstrated the ability to simultaneously reduce support costs and improve customer satisfaction. You thrive at the intersection of product and operations. Nice to have: experience in healthcare, insurance, or other industries with complex customer interactions.
