About the job

Company Overview:

Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a pioneering biotechnology firm committed to enhancing patient access to innovative, evidence-based treatments in mental health. Our headquarters are located in London, UK, with an office in New York City, USA. We are focused on developing groundbreaking therapies designed to significantly improve the lives of individuals struggling with mental health conditions who currently lack effective treatment options.

We are at the forefront of a transformative approach to mental health treatment, emphasizing rapid and lasting results through our investigational COMP360 synthetic psilocybin therapy, which is poised to become a first-in-class solution. COMP360 has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U. S. FDA and holds Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), addressing a critical unmet need in mental health care.

Currently in Phase 3 trials for TRD, we have successfully completed Phase 2 studies for both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anorexia nervosa, with plans for additional late-stage studies in PTSD. We envision a world where mental well-being signifies not merely the absence of illness but the ability to thrive.
