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.\nForus has exceptional product-market fit and is growing rapidly through organic adoption:\nAccelerating 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.\n\nAI-native, durable model: Our business becomes stronger as AI improves, as every new doctor, patient, and partner makes the network more valuable.\n\nBacking 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.\n\nOur 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.\nIf we succeed, science will be the only limit to medicine.\nAll full-time roles are in person in New York.\nAbout the role\nAs Business Development Manager at Forus, you will build the operating system that creates qualified provider opportunities and drives repeatable growth. You will own team performance, prospecting strategy, and coaching, turning inbound interest and outbound outreach into qualified meetings for our Growth team.\nYou will lead a team of 5-10 Business Development Representatives and define how the team prioritizes accounts, runs outreach, qualifies opportunities, and turns field learnings into stronger prospecting playbooks. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will coach through live scenarios, develop BDRs on your team, define prospecting strategy, and partner with Marketing, Revenue Operations, and Growth to make the team more effective as it scales.\nThis 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.\nIf you join, you will:\nBuild and develop a team of high-performing Business Development Representatives responsible for expanding Forus’ provider network, defining the operating rhythm, setting clear expectations, and holding the team accountable for results.\n\nOwn and refine the BDR motion across segmentation, account prioritization, outreach, qualification, meeting conversion, handoffs, and team effectiveness.\n\nOwn the team’s qualified meeting and opportunity targets, use funnel data to diagnose performance gaps, and drive the changes needed to improve results.\n\nRamp new BDRs and improve performance across the team through live prospecting, call reviews, giving direct feedback, and coaching reps on qualification, objection handling, and maximizing conversion.\n\nRecruit, interview, and hire exceptional BDR talent as the team scales.\n\nUse CRM and prospecting data to improve account prioritization, territory coverage, lead routing, and ultimately increase team productivity.\n\nWe’ll be most excited if you have:\n2+ years of experience leading and coaching a team of BDRs or SDRs, with a track record of building repeatable outbound motions and delivering against team targets.\n\nA track record of developing reps, ramping new hires quickly, and addressing underperformance through direct feedback and effective coaching.\n\nStrong analytical judgment, with the ability to diagnose where prospecting and conversion break down and translate those insights into better team performance.\n\nExperience bringing structure to a fast-moving environment by building and improving prospecting playbooks, onboarding programs, and inbound and outbound workflows, using CRM, AI, and automation tools to improve team productivity.\n\nTrack record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals\n\nHigh NPS with your former teammates\n\nThis 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.\nWorking with us\nForus is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo. \nWe run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:\nDo the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing. Break problems down and reason from the ground up. Stay open to changing your mind.\n\nResourceful optimism. Assume problems are solvable. Be audacious. Resist false constraints and push beyond the obvious before deciding.\n\nSpit it out. Speak directly, invite critique, avoid equivocation. We want right answers, not comfortable ones. All killer, no filler.\n\nRaise the bar. Hold a high standard for your pace and execution, and elevate the performance of the team around you. Mamba mentality.\n\nFight for users. Start with users’ realities, not ours. Resist optimizing for internal convenience over user outcomes.\n\nWe 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.\nWe also provide rich benefits to ensure you can focus on creating impact (for full-time employees) :\nFully covered medical, vision, and dental insurance.\n\nMemberships for One Medical, Talkspace, Teladoc, and Kindbody.\n\nUnlimited paid time off (PTO) and 16 weeks of parental leave.\n\n401K plan setup, FSA option, commuter benefits, and DashPass.\n\nLunch at the office every day and Dinner at the office after 6:30 pm.\n\nOur 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. \nForus 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6976,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Dental insurance","Equity","Insurance coverage","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T02:06:42Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 2","filings_12m":2,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":147500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.589,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":13,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/forus-business-development-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/forus-business-development-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-16T02:58:17Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4543,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-17T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2105211},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2105211"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fforus-business-development-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fforus-business-development-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fforus-business-development-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/forus-business-development-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fforus-business-development-manager"}]}
