  • Strong technical background with exceptional ability to do data analysis using SQL and Python, as well as pick up new tools on the fly
  • Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous problems and lead projects with major business impact, collaborating across teams and levels to drive sound decisions
  • Comfort with zooming in and out of problems, jumping between high-level thinking and granular methods of problem-solving
  • Strong written and verbal communication that allows you to be an effective participant in both internal debates and external relationships

More about this role

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....
