<div class="content-intro">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. - <a id="OWA7b9a9bdd-820c-52e3-19e0-7302f475ddce" class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcompasspathways.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7CAlexis.Rached%40compasspathways.com%7C81c31d1d5b344b36655308deebefbd0f%7Cb94a191dccb54154868e9dcbcb3e1412%7C0%7C0%7C639207612126678649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=gtzmMKpxYEvhVQspKpFeeyQ6S%2Fq84f%2FpCwFrBs4C4Jc%3D&reserved=0" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-outlook-id="9c215bbc-5d45-4e9b-afdf-92d15cea8a68" data-ogsc="">Compass Pathways</a></div>Job overview: The Associate Director, Scientific Communications will help to optimize and execute the Scientific Communications function within Medical Affairs, stewarding the capabilities, processes, and scientific communications that support launch readiness and future growth.
