Equity Program Manager

At Headway, they're scaling quickly on their mission to transform mental health, and this hire will define how they administer equity today—and for years to come. You’ll own the end-to-end management and execution of their equity‑compensation program, partner deeply with People, Finance, Legal, Tax, Payroll and external counsel, and establish best‑in‑class processes, controls, and communications. You will architect and execute full‑cycle equity administration in Carta—including grant setup and issuance, vesting/exercise management, terminations/forfeitures, SOX‑compliant preparer/reviewer controls, cap‑table updates, and board‑approval packages. You'll also lead vendor RFPs, evaluate and implement new platforms, and manage ongoing vendor relationships. Serve as the equity liaison for employees and partner cross‑functionally to maintain compliance and streamline hand‑offs.
