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.

You will build the models and frameworks that define how we think about market expansion, unit economics, and long-term strategy, while also helping us operate with rigor day-to-day.\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 own financial models that shape how Forus plans, forecasts, and makes high-stakes decisions\n\nPartner with product, growth, and operations teams to define unit economics and evaluate where we should invest to drive the most impact\n\nAnalyze performance across the business, identifying what’s working, what’s not, and where we should double down or change course\n\nLead scenario modeling and sensitivity analyses to support decisions around pricing, market expansion, hiring, and capital allocation\n\nWork directly with the CEO and leadership team on key initiatives, including new business lines, strategic partnerships, and fundraising strategy\n\nHelp design and evolve how the company operates, including planning cadence, resource allocation, and financial discipline as we scale\n\nWe’re looking for you if you have:\n2-10 years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, growth equity, or a similar high-rigor analytical role\n\nStrong financial modeling skills - you are comfortable building from scratch and pressure-testing assumptions\n\nAbility to go from an ambiguous question to a structured answer with minimal guidance\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication: capable of translating complex financial insights into clear narrative for executive leadership, board, and investors.\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.

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).
