Strategic Finance Manager

Headway • New York, NY

4d • Remote

About The Position

As a Strategic Finance Manager, you will sit within the Strategic Finance GTM team and own the financial analysis underpinning Headway's two-sided marketplace - where provider supply, patient demand, and appointment economics have to work together for durable growth. You'll bring a marketplace operating lens to forecasting, retention analysis, and strategic problem-solving. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who thrives at the intersection of financial analysis and strategic decision-making. You'll build models, track performance, and surface insights that drive appointment volume, retention, and long-run unit economics.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional experience, ideally in a mix of financial services (Investment Banking / Consulting / Private Equity) and highly analytical roles at a fast-growing tech company (Strategic Finance)
• Highly proficient in Google Sheets (advanced formulas) and Looker (or similar BI tools) and comfortable working with large datasets
• Detail-oriented and have a “measure twice, cut once” approach when working with financial data
• Actively use AI tools in your day-to-day work - whether that's accelerating analysis, building smarter models, or surfacing insights faster.
• Excited to work cross functionally with the business teams to develop a greater understanding of function-specific efficiency metrics and help course-correct where necessary
• Take ownership and are a resourceful self-starter—you proactively seek context, solve ambiguous problems, and anticipate stakeholder needs
• Communicate complex insights clearly, tailoring your message for different audiences (finance vs. business/product partners)
• Thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and enjoy collaborating with Provider, Patient, product, and growth teams
• Excited about joining a mission-driven company and driving marketplace efficiency and durable growth to improve mental healthcare access

Responsibilities

• Lead deep-dive analyses to identify root causes of marketplace performance - monitoring trends, surfacing early signals across provider utilization and patient retention, and partnering with product, growth, and operations teams to drive action
• Build and maintain functional operating models for Provider and Patient, and drive ongoing budgeting and forecasting processes for the function
• Lead deep dives to identify business problems, perform root cause analysis, and develop strategies for accelerating progress — monitoring trends, surfacing early signals of de-averaged performance, and partnering with product, operating, and growth teams to address issues and scale successful behaviors
• Partner cross-functionally to surface insights and support strategic decision-making
• Develop dashboards, reporting, and executive-ready materials to communicate progress against goals
