## Job 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 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. 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 a member of the Clinical Intelligence team at Forus, you will help define the clinical standards that guide how we scale our platform. You’ll translate clinical judgment, medical evidence, and the realities of clinical practice into structured frameworks that inform how medical records are interpreted, documentation is evaluated, and patient access workflows are executed. Your work will improve the accuracy, speed, and consistency of a platform used by providers across specialties. You will also work directly with partner physicians and provider organizations, explaining our clinical reasoning and translating their feedback into improvements to our product, clinical standards, and AI systems.

This is a high-context, cross-functional role that blends clinical expertise with systems thinking and communication. You will work closely with our product, engineering, and AI teams throughout the development process: defining what good looks like, shaping decision logic, surfacing edge cases, evaluating system performance, and helping determine how the platform should behave in complex or ambiguous situations. Your work will shape the foundation of how Forus supports providers and patients at scale and help us build clinically reliable technology across an expanding set of medicines, specialties, and workflows.

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.

If you join, you will:

- Translate clinical expertise into scalable logic, workflows, and quality standards used across the Forus platform
- Curate and audit representative datasets used to test and improve the performance of our AI systems
- Evaluate and refine system performance to ensure clinical accuracy and reliability, using your expertise to analyze feedback and resolve issues with AI and agent outputs
- Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and AI teams to ensure platform behavior reflects real-world clinical reasoning and standards
- Communicate our clinical expertise and processes to providers, collecting their feedback to iteratively improve our product
- Leverage expertise from across medical specialties to inform the development of AI solutions tailored to diverse clinical needs
- Help identify and shape new products, services, and specialty-specific capabilities

We’re looking for you if you have:

- 2–8 years as a board certified Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic medicine (DO), Nurse Practitioner (NP), Physician Assistant (PA), Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) or similar advanced clinical role, directly providing patient care and clinical decision-making
- Experience as part of an interdisciplinary team in outpatient or specialty settings, particularly in contexts involving medication access, prior authorization, or therapy initiation
- Strong written and oral communication, with an ability to translate clinical complexity into context and logic that can be understood by non-clinical teams
- Comfort and/or a strong interest in collaborating with product, engineering, data science and commercial teammates on building new technologies
- Strong judgment, intellectual curiosity, and an ability to work through unfamiliar and ambiguous problems
- High NPS with your former teammates

This is a list of ideal qualifications for this position. If you don't meet every single one of them, you should still consider applying! We’re excited to work with people from underrepresented backgrounds, and we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

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

We run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:

- Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing. Break problems down and reason from the ground up. Stay open to changing your mind.
- Resourceful optimism. Assume problems are solvable. Be audacious. Resist false constraints and push beyond the obvious before deciding.
- Spit it out. Speak directly, invite critique, avoid equivocation. We want right answers, not comfortable ones. All killer, no filler.
- Raise the bar. Hold a high standard for your pace and execution, and elevate the performance of the team around you. Mamba mentality.
- Fight for users. Start with users’ realities, not ours. Resist optimizing for internal convenience over user outcomes.

We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees). Everyone who joins will be a major contributor to our success, and we reflect this through ownership and pay.

We also provide rich benefits to ensure you can focus on creating impact (for full-time employees):

- Fully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.
- Memberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.
- 401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.
- Lunch at the office every day and Dinner at the office after 6:30 pm.

Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our company’s size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other opportunities at Forus (for full-time employees). Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, geography, and balancing internal equity. Forus is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition, or any other basis protected by law.
