Lead Product Designer - Coa job at Coa

Mission

Coa is the first-of-its-kind gym for mental health. Our mission is to make working on your mental health as proactive and accessible as working on your physical fitness with therapist-led emotional fitness classes and 1-on-1 therapy, all grounded in community.

About Coa

We all face mental health challenges in our lifetime, so why is accessing help still so stigmatized and archaic?

We are Coa: a venture-backed startup building the mental health experience that the 21st century needs, and leveraging technology to bring it to life. We're building a first-of-its-kind gym for mental health with therapist-led emotional fitness classes and 1-on-1 therapy.

The humans & philosophy behind Coa

● Coa is one of the few mental health startups founded by a licensed therapist. Coa was founded byAlexa Meyer and Dr. Emily Anhalt, a consumer and clinician who have experienced firsthand the need for better mental health experiences.

● Team is primarily based in San Francisco & NYC (but all remote for now).

● We are building a new category, consumer movement, product, and brand, while also bringing our classes to world-class employers like NBC, Skillshare, Salesforce, Silicon Valley Bank, Haus, Spotify, and more.

● We’re backed by amazing institutional investors as well as individuals who have worked for world-changing consumer brands like NBA, Casper, Glossier, and Airbnb.

We've been featured in the Fast Company, Today Show, Well to Do Global, Men's Health, TechCrunch, First Round Review, and our therapists have been cited as experts in Wired, Forbes, Women's Health, Shape, Bustle, Psychology Today and many others.
