## 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 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 looking for a Recruiter to join a small, high-performing talent team and take full ownership of hiring across a broad set of functions. This is the best opportunity for someone who treats every open requisition as a business problem to solve, every process as something that can be made sharper, and every hire as a direct contribution to what this company becomes.

You will own the full cycle from kickoff to close, partner deeply with hiring managers across the business, and be accountable for the quality and efficiency of every process you run. The best candidates for this role have seen recruiting evolve in high-growth environments and know the difference between filling a role and making the best possible hire.

If you started in agency, made the move in-house, and have spent the last several years doing some of the most demanding recruiting in the market, this is the role for you.

## IF YOU JOIN, YOU WILL:

- Own full-cycle recruiting across a generalist book of business, from scoping the role to closing the offer
- Partner with hiring managers to sharpen hiring briefs, improve interview processes, and raise the quality of decisions being made
- Build proactive pipelines for hard-to-fill roles before urgency creates pressure to compromise
- Use data to diagnose what's working and what isn't - pipeline health, conversion rates, time-to-close
- Pressure test hire decisions, push back on weak feedback, and hold the bar even when the business wants to move fast
- Continuously improve the processes you own, every function you touch should run better after you than before
- Deliver a candidate experience that reflects the company accurately regardless of outcome

WE’RE LOOKING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE:

- 4+ years of experience at a mix of agency and fast-growing, product-driven companies, tilt toward either technical, or GTM is fine
- Bias for first principles- when something is not working rather than defaulting to how it has always been done
- Analytical fluency- you track the right metrics, you know what they are telling you, and you use them to make better decisions
- Strong partnership skills- you earn trust quickly, challenge when it matters, and leave every manager you work with operating at a higher level
- Clear, direct communication- with candidates, with hiring managers, and with leadership

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.
