About the role

You will be expected to use legal tools not just to protect the business, but to unlock new capabilities, accelerate execution, and influence how we grow.
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.

With the traction to support conviction in our model, we raised significant funding from top investors (Thrive Capital, General Catalyst, and Accel) to build an exceptional team of engineers and operators.
As Strategic Legal Counsel at Forus, you will help define and build our legal function - owning key areas of regulatory, commercial, and corporate risk while serving as a business-aligned leader driving company strategy.
You'll bring high judgment, fast execution, and deep curiosity - constantly scanning for areas where legal strategy can accelerate growth, build defensibility, or eliminate friction.
You'll manage legal operations across the company, serve as the point of coordination for multiple outside counsel relationships, and help guide core decisions.
Own and operationalize Forus' legal infrastructure - including contracting, compliance, regulatory posture, and corporate structure
Build scalable legal workflows that support commercial velocity and cross-functional execution across provider, pharma, vendor, and data relationships
Identify and help implement legal or structural changes that expand Forus' capabilities or unlock strategic advantages
Partner closely with our CEO and leadership team on company-wide priorities, including strategic initiatives, GTM support, and product expansion
Operator mindset - you enjoy building, problem-solving, and contributing to business decisions directly

Familiarity with managing outside counsel and distilling legal complexity into actionable recommendations
You can learn more about working with us in the last section of this page.

6-15 years of legal experience, ideally with time spent both at a top-tier law firm and in-house at a high-growth company

A track record of navigating ambiguity, balancing risk with speed, and providing clear decision-making frameworks

We provide competitive compensation with meaningful equity (for full-time employees).

Fluency across commercial and regulatory domains - ideally including exposure to healthcare, life sciences, or similarly regulated sectors
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.

Our approach is distinctly enabled by AI, but our business gets stronger (not commoditized) as foundation models improve.
We are building durability through two-sided network effects that compound over time.
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.
Lead company-critical projects where legal is only part of the equation - such as launching new services, structuring external partnerships, or building out new functions
We are looking for individuals who are high horsepower, high throughput, and hyper resourceful to help us increase capacity and grow.
