Forus is an AI-powered network that connects doctors, pharmacies, payers, and biopharma to bring new science to patients.
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 80% of ZIP codes and partner with 5 of the 10 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 $160M+ 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 the Core Product Lead on our team, you will own the end-to-end experience for the providers and patients who use our platform. Your goal will be to make Forus feel deeply tailored to how each practice works while building a product that can scale across thousands of providers, different specialties, and increasingly complex organizations. Your goal will be to ensure our product and network grows exponentially through user love and word-of-mouth. You will develop a detailed understanding of what users are experiencing—both across the network and at the level of individual practices, workflows, and interactions. You will build direct relationships with providers and patients, establish tight quantitative and qualitative feedback loops, and make users feel like active partners in developing the product. You will translate that understanding into a clear product direction and ship improvements at an unusually fast cadence, with a high bar for usability, craft, and operational reliability. 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.

WORKING WITH US Forus is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo.
