Strategic Finance

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.

As part of our Strategic Finance team, you will help drive how the company plans, allocates resources, and makes decisions as we scale. You will work directly with the CEO and leadership team to translate strategy into financial models, evaluate key bets, and ensure we are investing behind the highest-impact opportunities.

This role sits at the center of the business, spanning growth, product, operations, and fundraising. 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.

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:

• Build and own financial models that shape how Forus plans, forecasts, and makes high-stakes decisions

• Partner with product, growth, and operations teams to define unit economics and evaluate where we should invest to drive the most impact

• Analyze performance across the business, identifying what’s working, what’s not, and where we should double down or change course

• Lead scenario modeling and sensitivity analyses to support decisions around pricing, market expansion, hiring, and capital allocation

• Work directly with the CEO and leadership team on key initiatives, including new business lines, strategic partnerships, and fundraising strategy

• Help design and evolve how the company operates, including planning cadence, resource allocation, and financial discipline as we scale

We’re looking for you if you have:

• 2–10 years of experience in strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, growth equity, or a similar high-rigor analytical role

• Strong financial modeling skills — you are comfortable building from scratch and pressure-testing assumptions

• Ability to go from an ambiguous question to a structured answer with minimal guidance

• Excellent written and verbal communication: capable of translating complex financial insights into clear narrative for executive leadership, board, and investors.

• Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals

• 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.

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.
