Company introduction:
Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) is a biotechnology company dedicated to unlocking urgently needed new treatment options in mental health care.
The Company is headquartered in London, UK, with a U.S. office in New Jersey. We believe mental health patients deserve the possibility of a better future. Our initial focus is developing COMP360 psilocybin, a proprietary, investigational, synthetic psilocybin treatment under evaluation for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). COMP360 is a potentially first-in-class treatment and has Breakthrough Therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for TRD.
We are leading the world's largest classic psychedelic clinical program in TRD, and building upon that robust foundation, we are executing a late-stage trial evaluating COMP360 for PTSD, another condition with high unmet need. Our goal is to advance treatments that move the field of psychiatry towards treatment options that offer rapid onset and sustained durability with infrequent dosing. - Compass Pathways
Job overview:
The Senior Manager, Data Operations & Governance will own the ingestion, integrity, and downstream usability of Compass Pathways' commercial data assets as we prepare for and execute launch. This role is the connective tissue between our external data partners and the analytics, forecasting, and field operations work that depends on compliant, clean, and well-modeled data. The ideal candidate is technically opinionated, collaborative, comfortable pushing back on vendors when data quality slips, and equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to build pipelines, model data, and stand-up governance practices. You'll be designing the systems and standards from the ground up, with the autonomy and ambiguity that comes with building early.
Location: Hybrid in our New York City office or remote on the East Coast in the United States.

- Working knowledge of SP data aggregation platforms, familiarity with Veeva software tools including Network and Nitro are a plus
- Strong technical toolkit: advanced SQL, Python, dbt or comparable transformation framework, and AWS/S3 or equivalent cloud infrastructure
- Demonstrated ability to model data thoughtfully, with opinions on grain, naming, and structures that hold up over time
- A scrappy, builder orientation. Comfortable in environments where the playbook is still being written, and able to push back on vendors and stakeholders without burning bridges
- Strong communication skills, including the ability to translate technical tradeoffs to non-technical commercial leaders
