Senior Strategic Finance Manager

Join Headway, a mission-driven company focused on scaling access to mental healthcare. As a Senior Strategic Finance Manager, you will play a crucial role in shaping the company's growth strategy, driving capital allocation, and owning the planning and budgeting process. You will partner with various functions across the organization and use your financial expertise to influence decision-making and improve business outcomes.

• Partner with the business to translate business plans into financial plans and financial constraints into business tradeoffs.
• Drive capital allocation by building and pressure-testing business cases for investments across various areas.
• Own planning and budgeting by running the financial planning and monthly forecasting process end-to-end.

• This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who thrives at the intersection of financial analysis and strategic decision-making. We're looking for someone who wants to influence outcomes, not just report on them
• You bring structure to ambiguity. When the scope isn't defined, you define it. You proactively seek context, solve open-ended problems, and keep cross-functional groups moving with clarity even when the answer isn't settled
• You make the business better, not just the model. You don't just partner with the business — you shape its strategy. You lead cross-functional work without authority, earn trust through delivery, and translate financial analysis into decisions that change what the business does next
• You've owned the numbers for a fast-growing business or product line — and you can point to decisions that went differently because of your work
• You're excited to join a mission-driven company and use your financial skills to help scale access to mental healthcare
• You have 8+ years of experience, ideally blending Investment Banking, Consulting, or Private Equity/Venture Capital with a highly analytical Strategic Finance role at a fast-growing tech company
• You see AI as a competitive advantage, not a feature to explore someday. You actively use AI tools to be more efficient, sharpen your analysis, and make smarter calls
• You communicate complex insights clearly. You tailor your message to the audience — finance vs. business partners — and make the takeaway impossible to miss
