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\nThe most important and most difficult part of building a successful company is assembling an exceptional team. In today's knife-fight market, talent density requires the same level of strategic focus and creativity as product development and go-to-market. As Talent Strategy Lead, you will work directly with our CEO to help make Forus one of the best companies in the world at identifying, attracting, and hiring extraordinary people.\nYou will help us develop recruiting as a go-to-market function: understanding the people and talent markets we most need to reach, developing a differentiated strategy for reaching them, and creating process that enables Forus to win them. Your work will span talent intelligence, targeted hunting, relationship-building, talent brand, candidate assessment, and personally driving our most important searches.\nThis is a high-impact tour of duty for an exceptional generalist, product builder, or strategist who wants to work on one of the most consequential problems inside a rapidly growing company. Prior recruiting experience is not required. We are looking for someone with excellent judgment, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and the drive to turn strategy into exceptional hires.\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:\nWork directly with the CEO and company leaders to determine which hires and talent markets could have the greatest impact on Forus\n\nDevelop an original point of view on what exceptional performance looks like across critical functions, rather than relying primarily on credentials, titles, or conventional candidate profiles\n\nBuild deep maps of important talent markets, companies, communities, and individual candidates, including people who are not actively looking for a new role\n\nDesign creative strategies to identify and engage exceptional people through targeted communities, events, referrals, research, content, competitions, partnerships, and other channels\n\nShape how Forus presents itself to different talent markets, translating the company’s mission, ambition, operating environment, and opportunities into a compelling and credible talent narrative\n\nDevelop new approaches to evaluating talent where conventional interviews or credentials provide weak signal\n\nBuild repeatable strategic playbooks that allow the broader recruiting team to apply what you learn across additional roles and talent markets\n\nWe’re looking for you if you have:\nHave a track record of doing high-quality work in a demanding and talent-dense environment, whether as a founder, 0 -> 1 operator, investor, product manager, or in another high-performance role\n\nExceptional judgment about people and evidence that you have identified, recruited, backed, hired, or chosen unusually strong people before others recognized them\n\nStrong written and verbal communication, including the ability to understand what motivates a specific person and communicate why Forus may be the right place for them\n\nEnough technical and analytical fluency to understand unfamiliar roles quickly, evaluate evidence critically, work effectively with data, and test new tools or approaches\n\nHigh agency and creativity - when the obvious channels do not produce the right people, you create different channels\n\nA track 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":7711,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"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":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.287,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":115,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/forus-talent-strategy-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/forus-talent-strategy-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T13:16:10Z","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":20479,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"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-talent-strategy-lead"},{"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-talent-strategy-lead"},{"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-talent-strategy-lead"},{"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-talent-strategy-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fforus-talent-strategy-lead"}]}
