Regional Director, Field Patient Access

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 COMP
360 synthetic psilocybin treatment, potentially a first‑in‑class treatment. COMP
360 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.

The Regional Director, Field Patient Access will play a critical role in enabling how patients access COMP
360 therapy within a defined geography.

This leader will hire, manage, train, and develop a team of Patient Access Liaisons (PALs) while serving as a hands‑on, field‑based expert to support treatment sites, patients, and caregivers navigating the complex access, reimbursement, and operational pathways required to deliver COMP
360 therapy. Success will require a leader who can simplify complex processes, remove barriers to care, and ensure consistent, high‑quality execution across their region.

The Regional Director, Field Patient Access will operate as a player/coach
, balancing team leadership with direct engagement in solving complex access challenges in real time. This includes supporting sites with coverage navigation, coding and billing education, care coordination processes, and therapy preparations.

This role requires strong collaboration across Patient Engagement, Market Access, Commercial, Medical Affairs, Legal, and Compliance to ensure that patients and providers are supported with accurate, appropriate, and compliant access education and resources. The Regional Director, Field Patient Access will also translate field insights into actionable feedback to improve access pathways and patient experience at scale.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in reimbursement and access, experience leading field‑based reimbursement and access teams, and a strong personal commitment to Compass’s mission of improving patient outcomes in mental health. They are energized by navigating complex systems, making them more accessible, and supporting both patients and providers through challenging journeys with empathy and professionalism.

Above all, this leader is patient‑centered—recognizing that behind every process, policy, and workflow is a patient seeking access to care—and is motivated to ensure access is delivered in a safe, compliant, and supportive manner.

Location: Field‑based and able to travel ~70% within region via plane, train, or car.
