About us

Forus is building an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to accelerate new science to patients.

Our platform automates the complexity between a doctor prescribing a medicine and a patient starting treatment, including insurance coverage, financial assistance, and supply chain navigation. We provide this support free to doctors and patients, helping them get life-changing medicine faster, cheaper, and easier. The resulting network enables biopharma companies to design better research, launch new drugs more effectively, and invest in harder-to-treat conditions.

Forus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption

Accelerating scale: We already support patients across more than 85% of ZIP codes and partner with 9 of top 15 largest biopharma companies in the world.

AI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable.

Backing to build for the long term: We raised $300M+ from leading investors to build an exceptional team and unlock the full scale of the opportunity.

Our number one priority is scaling to market demand. We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow. We move fast and need to move faster.

If we succeed, science will be the only limit to medicine.

All full-time roles are in person in New York.

About the role

As a Strategic Product Manager at Forus, you will take on some of the company’s most important and ambiguous product problems before they have established teams, roadmaps, or obvious solutions. Your work may include building internal AI and automation products, creating new operational capabilities, developing the first version of a product for a new customer category, or incubating an entirely new business line. Some initiatives will become permanent product areas; others may be handed to an existing team once the problem has been understood and the initial solution is working.

You will operate as a technical product generalist, moving fluidly between product strategy, software, data, operations, and commercial considerations. You will be expected to identify the real constraint, develop a practical solution, build or prototype where useful, and lead execution until the initiative produces a measurable outcome. Depending on the problem, you may work through a dedicated engineering team, lead a broader cross-functional group, or execute significant portions of the work yourself.

This is a demanding role, with a high level of autonomy and responsibility. You will be expected to "act like an owner" and commit yourself to Forus' success. If you are low-ego, hungry to learn, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.

If you join, you will

Own high-priority zero-to-one initiatives that do not yet have an established product team or obvious solution

Work across new customer categories, internal workflows, and emerging business lines to understand problems and determine what Forus should build

Take initiatives from initial problem definition through prototyping, implementation, launch, measurement, and transition into a durable operating model

Build early prototypes directly where useful, using data analysis, AI development tools, lightweight software, and operational experimentation to learn quickly

Lead cross-functional execution across engineering, design, operations, commercial, clinical, and other teams without relying on formal authority

Create the metrics, feedback loops, and operating mechanisms needed to determine whether an initiative is working and how it should evolve

Help transition successful initiatives into permanent product teams, operating functions, or new business lines

We’re looking for you if you have

Experience working in a product management, software engineering, or forward deployed role on a team that required outcome ownership (e.g., fast-growing startup, a 0 -> 1 business line at a high-performing organization)
