SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cerebral Inc., the leading online provider of psychiatric and behavioral therapy services, announced today plans to hire an additional 500 full-time employees by the end of 2022. The new roles will help support the company’s rapid growth and provide services to its more than 420,000 customers to date.

“Our mission is to provide access to long-term, high-quality mental health care for all,” said Kyle Robertson, CEO of Cerebral. “By adding to our dedicated, talented team, we will be better positioned to make this mission a reality.”

The new positions will range from finance, technology, sales and other corporate functions, and will be located remotely allowing candidates to work from anywhere in the U.S. Since the company’s founding in January 2020, it has grown from 5 employees to a workforce of more than 1,000.

“At Cerebral, we offer work that has real purpose and meaning: To shape the future of mental health care,” said Kevin Oliveira Callender, Cerebral’s Head of People. “We’re proud and excited to continue to grow and offer opportunities for people to create a better tomorrow.”

Callender added that the new full-time roles will offer competitive compensation and benefits, including stock options, health and life insurance, 401k, and unlimited paid time off.

“People want to join companies that care for their communities and employees, and Cerebral is one of them,” Callender said. “We have a high-performance, highly-empathic culture that encourages personal and professional development as well as diversity and inclusion.”

Cerebral maintains one of the most diverse clinician groups of any healthcare organization. Among their providers, 75 percent are female and 45 percent identify as African American, Hispanic or Asian. Their executive leadership team is 45 percent female.

Cerebral also continues to add renowned leaders to its advisory board, which helps provide guidance on strategy and quality. Current members include Thomas R. Insel, previous director of the National Institute of Mental Health, and Jeffrey B. Kindler, former CEO of Pfizer.
