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 Brand Design Lead at Forus, you will shape how Forus looks, feels, and shows up across every external and internal touchpoint. You will own and evolve our visual identity, applying it across our website, campaigns, events, content, sales materials, recruiting, video, and the other surfaces through which people experience the company.
You will combine exceptional design craft with broader creative direction, setting the bar for our work while building systems that allow the company to move quickly without becoming inconsistent. You will work closely with marketing, growth, product, partnerships, and leadership to turn company priorities into distinctive creative, and lead agencies, freelancers, and other production partners where needed.
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:
Own and evolve Forus’ visual identity and creative direction across web, campaigns, content, events, video, sales materials, recruiting, and internal communications
Translate company, audience, and campaign objectives into creative concepts that are distinctive, clear, and commercially effective
Build the brand systems, templates, asset libraries, and guidelines that allow teams across Forus to create high-quality work quickly
Lead major creative initiatives from concept through execution, balancing strategic direction with hands-on design when needed
Partner closely with product design to create a coherent experience from the first brand interaction through the product itself
Source, brief, and direct agencies, freelancers, studios, and production partners while maintaining a consistently high creative bar
Use AI and emerging creative tools to increase the speed, range, and quality of what our team can produce
We’re looking for you if you have:
7–12 years of experience in brand design, creative direction, or visual design, ideally within a high-growth technology or consumer company
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft across brand systems, web, campaigns, content, and other digital and physical experiences
A strong point of view on design and the ability to clearly articulate the reasoning behind creative decisions
Experience building and evolving a brand system rather than only producing work within an established one
Experience directing agencies, freelancers, or internal creative contributors toward a unified vision
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.
