Director, Federal Payer Accounts

About Compass Pathways

Compass Pathways plc is a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health. Headquartered in London with offices in New York City, we focus on developing novel treatments for those suffering from mental health conditions who are not helped by current therapies.

We are pioneering a new paradigm for treating mental health conditions, focused on rapid and durable responses through our investigational COMP360 synthetic psilocybin treatment. COMP360 holds Breakthrough Therapy designation from the US FDA and Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP) designation in the UK for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). We are currently in Phase 3 for TRD, have completed Phase 2 studies for PTSD and anorexia nervosa, and are planning further late-stage studies in PTSD. We envision a world where mental health means not just the absence of illness but the ability to thrive.

About the Role

The Director, Federal Payer Accounts serves as the strategic driver for securing formulary access and coverage for COMP360 across U.S. Federal healthcare systems, including the Veteran's Administration (VA), Department of Defense (DoD), TriCare, and Indian Health Services (IHS). This role is critical in establishing and maintaining strategic customer relationships ahead of and through the product launch.

Reporting to the Senior Director, Strategic Payer Accounts, you will act as the primary interface and negotiator for coverage and contracting discussions. Your mission is to translate the COMP360 value proposition into sustainable coverage wins by developing strategic account plans. You will partner internally with Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR), Medical Affairs, Government Affairs, and Commercial Operations to ensure payer strategies are executed with precision. This is a remote role within the United States, requiring a leader who can navigate ambiguous situations and build capabilities from scratch in a growth-stage environment.
