About the role
As a Security Operations Lead at Forus, you will own the programs that enable customers to trust us with their most sensitive data. We handle protected health information to automate critical workflows for our providers, payers, and life sciences partners, so our security and compliance posture directly affects both what we can build and how quickly we can bring it to market.
What they're looking for
- Typically 8+ years in security, compliance, or risk, including standing up a security and compliance program from scratch
- Hands-on experience with SOC 2 and HIPAA, HITRUST experience is a strong plus, as is evidence that you have stood up a new framework or program from scratch
- Fluency with compliance automation tooling and enough technical depth to work credibly with engineers on cloud, identity, logging, and application controls
- Experience owning customer-facing security with enterprise buyers: questionnaires, trust centers, and due diligence
- Strong written and verbal communication that allows you to be an effective participant in both internal debates and external relationships
- A track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
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....
