TL;DR: This is not a conventional recruiter role. You'll be our first recruiting hire at Conduct, defining how we think about
talent acquisition from scratch, owning the process end-to-end across every role, and making sure we keep the bar high enough to
build the strongest team in enterprise tech.
We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run
on. Today they don't.
Every process change, every new product line runs into SAP systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human
mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain.
We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major
enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M
Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service.
We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego
collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are
convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out.

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 COMP360 synthetic psilocybin treatment, potentially a first in class treatment. COMP360 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. - Compass Pathways.
