Description
Company introduction:
Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. The Company is headquartered in London, UK, with offices in New York City in the US. We focus on developing novel treatments that have the potential to improve the lives of those who are suffering with mental health conditions and who are not helped by current treatments.
We are pioneering a new paradigm for treating mental health conditions focused on rapid and durable responses through the development of our investigational COMP360 synthetic psilocybin treatment, potentially a first in class treatment. COMP360 has Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has received Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) due to the pressing unmet need in this area.
We are currently in phase 3 for TRD, have completed phase 2 studies for both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anorexia nervosa and are planning a further late-stage study in PTSD. We envision a world where mental health means not just the absence of illness but the ability to thrive. - Compass Pathways.
Job Overview:
The Senior Director, Market Access Payer and Contract Strategy will lead market access strategy ahead of the anticipated launch of a novel psilocybin treatment for treatment‑resistant depression, with future expansion into PTSD and other mental health conditions. This role will be responsible for securing coverage, reimbursement, and access across commercial and government payers, working closely with commercial, clinical, and HEOR teams.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned market access leader with a strong track record launching innovative or complex therapies and translating evidence into compelling payer value propositions. Experience in CNS, neuropsychiatry, specialty, or similarly complex disease areas is strongly preferred.
If you are excited by building new capabilities and advancing innovative mental health treatments in a fast‑paced environment, we would love to hear from you.
