Clinical Intelligence Associate
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
As a Clinical Intelligence Associate at Forus, you will help define the clinical standards that guide how we scale our platform. You’ll translate your experience into structured frameworks that inform everything from how medical records are interpreted to how treatment decisions are supported — improving the accuracy, speed, and consistency of patient access workflows across the board.
This is a high-context, cross-functional role that blends clinical expertise with systems thinking. You will work closely with our product, engineering, and AI teams to define decision logic, surface edge cases, and help us build reliable, clinically sound tools. Your work will shape the foundation of how Forus supports providers and patients at scale — and help ensure our platform reflects the best of both medicine and technology.
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:
Translate clinical expertise into scalable logic, workflows, and quality standards used across Forus' platform
Curate and audit datasets to maintain high-quality, representative training and testing material
Evaluate and refine system performance to ensure clinical accuracy and reliability, using your expertise to analyze feedback and resolve issues with AI and agent outputs
Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure platform behavior reflects real-world clinical reasoning and standards
Expand knowledge across medical specialties to inform the development of AI solutions tailored to diverse clinical needs
Inform the development of new products, services, and specialty-specific modules
We’re looking for you if you have:
2–8 years as a board certified Nurse Practitioner (NP), Physician Assistant (PA), or similar advanced clinical role, directly providing patient care and clinical decision-making
Experience as part of an interdisciplinary team in outpatient or specialty settings, particularly in contexts involving medication prior authorizations and ensuring patient access to therapy
Strong written communication, with an ability to translate clinical complexity into context and logic that can be understood by non-clinical teams
Comfort and/or a strong interest in collaborating with product, engineering, and data science teammates on building new technologies
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.
