Salary Range: 120000 to 172500 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

Osmind is the premier platform for clinicians and researchers advancing new life-saving mental health treatments. Today, mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of death worldwide, especially among young adults, and are tied to shortening lifespans. While there have been developments in new psychiatric medications since the first FDA approval in 1954, today there is a growing movement among clinicians, patients, and researchers who are recognizing the need to accelerate new science.

The Osmind treatment platform is the first and only solution that solves specific challenges faced by neuropsychiatric clinics, spanning general psychiatry and interventional psychiatry (transcranial magnetic stimulation, ketamine, SPRAVATO®, psychedelic medicine, electroconvulsive therapy). The core electronic health record (EHR) technology is precisely developed for interventional treatment workflows and designed to support a strong therapeutic alliance, including journaling tools and assistance with health plan reimbursement, which is a significant access hurdle for millions of patients.

Research from our platform is already helping to set new standards for mental health interventions. For example, in the largest published real-world analysis of ketamine infusion therapy for depression, we teamed up with Stanford University School of Medicine to share findings in the Journal of Affective Disorders (March 2022). We have multiple ongoing research studies leveraging our proprietary real-world data, including an even larger ketamine analysis leveraging machine learning to predict treatment outcomes.

Osmind is a San Francisco–based public benefit corporation led by scientists, technologists, and psychiatrists. We are backed by top investors including DFJ Growth, General Catalyst, Future Ventures, Tiger Global, and Y Combinator.

The opportunity

We are a series B funded Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) building something that actually moves the needle on the global mental health crisis. (See here for an article our cofounder Jimmy wrote about PBC’s.)

Lead program management of ongoing client projects, closely collaborating with various teams such as Data Science, Medical, Operations, Finance, Engineering, and Product.
Maintain an understanding of R&D pipelines, M&A activity, funding activity, asset development, etc. of neuropsychiatry drug and device development
Synthesize feedback from prospect and customer conversations (e.g. needs for specific data variables, interest in specific patient populations, etc.) to contribute to roadmap and strategic decisions, collaborating with Product and Data Science stakeholders
Explore partnerships with other organizations in the healthcare ecosystem, such as health systems, diagnostics companies, registries, and more, to aid commercialization, data acquisition, and GTM strategies

Requirements

3+ years within life sciences partnerships or selling into pharma (e.g. at RWE companies, CRO, life sciences consulting firm), with multiple deals managed, i.e. you played a critical role in sourcing, closing, or executing on them
Strong interest in and understanding of RWE value propositions from clinical development through commercial. Fluency in drug development and scientific concepts, e.g. you could comfortably speak 1-1 with a scientific counterpart at a pharma company
Comfort with and excitement around uncertainty as we launch our enterprise GTM strategy and build a repeatable GTM motion
Hustle and grit: this is one of Osmind’s core values. You’ll demonstrate willingness to roll up your sleeves and spend hours prospecting or chasing down the right stakeholders to speak to

Ability to travel to conferences and biopharma client meetings several times a year

Nice to haves

Early-stage startup experience (Series B or earlier)
Strong understanding or prior experience in neuropsychiatry
Graduate or undergraduate education in a relevant scientific field such as neuroscience, biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, biostatistics, etc.

A successful first year might look like

Overseeing and managing the successful execution of a major client project, resulting in negotiating an upsell opportunity
Sourcing and helping close a deal with a new client
Playing a key role in refining our life sciences strategy with our founders and executive leadership team

Some candidates may see the list above and feel discouraged because they don’t match all the items. Please apply anyway: there’s a good chance you also have important skills we’ve missed! We are committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences, and we’re taking steps to meet that commitment.
