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.
What they're looking for
- Have a track record of doing high-quality work in a demanding and talent-dense environment, whether as a founder, 0 -> 1 operator, investor, product manager, or in another high-performance role
- Exceptional judgment about people and evidence that you have identified, recruited, backed, hired, or chosen unusually strong people before others recognized them
- Strong written and verbal communication, including the ability to understand what motivates a specific person and communicate why Forus may be the right place for them
- Enough technical and analytical fluency to understand unfamiliar roles quickly, evaluate evidence critically, work effectively with data, and test new tools or approaches
- High agency and creativity — when the obvious channels do not produce the right people, you create different channels
- 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....
