Description
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
We are building a specialized search function focused on the hires that matter most and are hardest to make. This includes executive roles, as well as positions that are uniquely important, unusually difficult to fill, or critical to the company’s trajectory. One search may be for a senior engineering leader; the next could be for a world-class brand designer, researcher, or another exceptional individual contributor.
You will operate like an embedded retained search partner, working directly with the CEO and senior leaders to build our organization. Sometimes you will own searches end-to-end, other times you will lead our work with external search firms, setting search strategy, calibrating candidates, and ensuring exceptional outcomes. You will also build long-term knowledge of key talent markets, develop relationships with exceptional people long before we have an opening, and help shape the leadership and capabilities we’ll need as the company scales.
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’s 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.
IF YOU JOIN, YOU WILL:
- Own the company's most important and difficult hiring mandates, from senior leaders to exceptional ICs and first-of-their-kind roles
- Partner directly with founders and hiring managers to define what exceptional looks like and shape hiring strategy
- Build market maps, identify overlooked talent pools, and develop differentiated search strategies for every role
- Personally recruit, assess, and close exceptional candidates through thoughtful outreach, relationship building, and rigorous evaluation
- Lead and manage external search firms when needed, ensuring they operate with the standards, urgency, and judgment we expect
- Build long-term relationships with exceptional leaders and operators who may become future hires, beyond hunting for existing requisitions
- Develop talent intelligence on key markets, emerging leaders, and future hiring needs to help shape the company's long-term growth
WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE:
- 3-6 years of experience at a top executive search firm, at a level where you were directly sourcing and managing candidates
- Exceptional judgment for talent and a t
