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

The most important and most difficult part of building a successful company is assembling an exceptional team. In today's knife-fight market, talent density requires the same level of strategic focus and creativity as product development and go-to-market. As Talent Strategy Lead, you will work directly with our CEO to help make Forus one of the best companies in the world at identifying, attracting, and hiring extraordinary people.

You will help us develop recruiting as a go-to-market function: understanding the people and talent markets we most need to reach, developing a differentiated strategy for reaching them, and creating process that enables Forus to win them. Your work will span talent intelligence, targeted hunting, relationship-building, talent brand, candidate assessment, and personally driving our most important searches.

This is a high-impact tour of duty for an exceptional generalist, product builder, or strategist who wants to work on one of the most consequential problems inside a rapidly growing company. Prior recruiting experience is not required. We are looking for someone with excellent judgment, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and the drive to turn strategy into exceptional hires.

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.
