About the role
We are seeking a Product Designer to lead the design of an AI-agent-powered onboarding experience for providers joining Headway. This role will transform a high-friction, multi-page credentialing process into an intelligent, conversational experience.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end provider onboarding experience from lead form submission through credentialing to first appointment.
- Design AI-agent-powered intake flows that replace manual, multi-page credentialing forms with intelligent interactions.
- Scale our self-serve onboarding vision beyond v2, enabling providers to go from interest to credentialed with minimal human intervention.
- Conduct research and talk directly to providers to validate solutions, understanding why providers get stuck, what builds their confidence, and where automation helps vs. hinders.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product design experience, with significant time spent on onboarding, activation, or conversion-focused product work.
- Experience designing agentic or AI-powered workflows, including conversational flows, intelligent automation, or replacing manual processes with AI-driven experiences.
- Strong visual and interaction design craft, producing polished, high-quality work at speed.
- Comfortable with AI prototyping tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and MagicPatterns, seeing them as a core part of your workflow.
- A desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives, impacting how many providers join Headway and how many patients get access to affordable mental healthcare.
Qualifications
- Experience shipping measurable conversion improvements, thinking in funnels, and diagnosing drop-off points.
- Systems thinking ability to understand how a form redesign connects to CAQH, NPI, payer credentialing, and downstream provider activation.
- Understanding of the full pipeline from lead form submission to first appointment.
Skills
- Experience with AI tools like Claude, Cursor, and MagicPatterns.
- Ability to prototype and iterate on AI-agent-powered onboarding flows.
- Strong research skills, able to validate solutions with providers and understand their needs and pain points.
