About the Director, Health Partnerships at Headspace:

Headspace is looking for an industry expert to lead Health Partnerships and support the Healthcare and Business Development teams in helping achieving the mission of Improving the Health and Happiness of the World.

You have a passion for tackling the unknown and working to creatively answer questions that haven’t been explored. You gain energy from working with people and enjoy being at the center of all aspects of a project. You enjoy bringing people together to work toward a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. You’re a super communicator verbally and visually, you can take complex information and distill it into “ah-ha” moments for each member of your target audience. You balance thoughtfulness and speed in your responses.

You’re a collaborative project and people management whiz with experience and interest in using your talents to grow healthcare partnerships and change the face of healthcare through technology. Perhaps you’ve had experience with leading partnerships or partner success teams or come from a business development leadership background. In addition to being a true strategic leader within partnerships you’re also a healthcare native with experience in transformative digital health. You have memorized the map of the healthcare landscape and have an informed and practical understanding of how Headspace fits in. You’re a thinker, planner and do-er. You’ve been in roles previously where you’ve had to roll-up your sleeves and manage both vision and execution. If this sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

Health partnerships is a critical part of Headspace’s business and is ultimately what lets our product get into the hands of patients, providers, payors, and employees. You will be at the core of making sure that new partnerships are established, launched successfully, and delivered without a hitch. As you well know, successful partnership management is collaborative. On a daily basis you will work with members of the Health and Science and Business Development teams. You will also work closely with other team members including Marketing, User Research, Growth, and other Product teams. As one of the first members on a growing team devoted exclusively to Healthcare, you’ll have a chance to shape how we work with health partners and maximize success.
