Senior Manager, Data Operations and Governance

Compass Pathways•New York, NY

2d•$135,000 - $185,000•Hybrid

About The Position

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.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, Statistics, or a related field (Master's a plus, not required)
6+ years of experience in data operations, analytics engineering, or commercial data management within pharmaceutical, biotech, or healthcare with at least 2 years in a senior individual contributor or lead role
Hands-on experience with specialty pharmacy data strongly preferred; adjacent specialty data experience (claims, LDD, hub, REMS) also considered
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
