Remote flexibility

Undisclosed

The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.

Why this role is Undisclosed

We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.

Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "Remote", which names no country you must live in.
Whether the work is remote: Never mentioned. The role reached us through a remote job board, but the advert itself doesn't say the work is remote.
Working hours: Not stated. No timezone overlap or set hours are mentioned, so assume nothing either way.

Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.

What the employer says

Source listing states candidate location: "Remote"

What Nomaders makes of it

The quotes above are the employer's own words; the reading is ours. Always check the original listing and employment terms before working from another country.

Before you apply

Experience: employer states

Written as a requirement

“You bring 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting in high-growth, tech-enabled environments, with meaningful experience hiring senior, director, and VP-level design & creative talent”

Questions worth asking: Nomaders interpretation

The advert does not say where you can be based. Ask which countries they can legally employ or contract you from.
The advert does not say whether this is employment or a contractor arrangement. Ask, as it affects tax and benefits.

About the role

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 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 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, and building much of it with AI. 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.

Headway is hiring an experienced Staff Recruiter to own our most complex and senior design searches — the hires that shape what we build and how fast we build it. In this role, you’ll run end-to-end searches across Product Design and Product Analytics/Research, partnering directly with the CPO, VPs of Product and Design, and their leadership teams to design the right hiring strategy, shape the talent bar, and deliver exceptional outcomes.

As a senior member of the recruiting team, you’ll operate as a true talent advisor and search leader. You’ll diagnose ambiguous hiring problems, architect structured search processes, influence executive stakeholders, and build world-class pipelines of design/creative talent for some of the most critical roles at Headway. Your work will directly impact our ability to scale sustainably and serve providers and patients nationwide.

You will:

Run end-to-end design/creative searches, from senior ICs to Director+ leaders, driving everything from role scoping to close and owning the narrative around candidate quality, funnel health, and search strategy

Partner closely with the CPO, VPs of Product and Design, and their leadership teams, advising on role definition, leveling, search design, talent bar, market dynamics, and how to run a predictable, inclusive hiring process

Architect structured search plans that diagnose bottlenecks early, set expectations, and give stakeholders clear visibility throughout the process

Design and execute targeted sourcing strategies that consistently deliver high-quality design & creative talent

Use data to drive alignment and decisions, from setting funnel expectations to refining search approach based on real-time signal

Uplevel design hiring quality and consistency, helping teams clarify what “great” looks like, sharpening competencies and portfolio modules, and reinforcing structured decision-making

Build market intelligence on the talent landscape — compensation, org design, talent pools, and how peer companies structure and hire their teams

Ensure best-in-class candidate experience, with executive-grade care for senior leaders, where thoughtful communication, coaching, and white-glove touchpoints are essential

Collaborate with sourcers and coordination partners to ensure a seamless, high-quality search experience end-to-end

You’d be a great fit if…

You bring 6+ years of full-cycle recruiting in high-growth, tech-enabled environments, with meaningful experience hiring senior, director, and VP-level design & creative talent

You have deep experience recruiting talent — Product Design or Creative — and are comfortable running senior and executive-level searches

You operate as a trusted advisor to executives, influencing decisions through data, market insight, and structured thinking

You know how to untangle ambiguous or complex searches, build clarity, and drive a repeatable plan that produces predictable outcomes

You bring high agency and operational excellence—you run clean, structured searches that remove friction for both candidates and stakeholders

You think creatively about multi-channel sourcing, building senior pipelines through research, relationship-building, and market mapping

You can assess talent with credibility — you understand craft well enough to calibrate a designer’s scope, judgment, and impact

You communicate with clarity, presence, and executive polish, regardless of audience
