Product Designer

About the Role

We are looking for a Product Designer to help define how we build and scale our platform, and be a strategic partner across the business. You will work across our entire product surface area, from patient-facing product to enterprise tools for biopharma companies.

We are committed to investing in design, and we are looking for designers who will push our thinking. We are not just looking to elevate the quality bar for healthcare products, we are building consumer-grade experiences that our users love and can’t wait to tell others about. We expect sharp product thinking, high craftsmanship, and the ability to ask the right questions to get to the why.

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

• Design products across consumer applications, enterprise tools, and AI-powered workflows
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and operations to envision, prioritize, and drive projects
• Facilitate user research to keep our pulse on our users' needs and pain points
• Participate actively in client engagements, working directly with customers to understand requirements and deliver innovative solutions
• Build and evolve our design system to support rapid scaling

We’re Looking for You If You Have

• 5+ years experience designing software
• Strong design skills and the ability to run projects independently
• A knack for untangling and simplifying complexity, then designing elegant, focused solutions
• Impeccable craftsmanship and taste
• Clear communication and strong design rationale that allows you to be an effective participant both internally and externally
• Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
• High NPS with your former teammates

Additional information

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.

Working with US

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.

Pay and benefits

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.
