Pharmacy Technician

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.

Note: This is a remote, full time role based in Idaho. We are looking for candidates who can start immediately. Please disregard references to NYC office.

About the role

As a Pharmacy Technician at Forus, you will be a critical link between our platform and the pharmacies we work with. You'll bring your operational expertise to resolve pharmacy-side issues, support our on-staff pharmacists, and help ensure patients get timely access to their medications. This is a high-touch, problem-solving role where your knowledge of pharmacy workflows, insurance adjudication, and drug information directly improves outcomes for providers and patients at scale.

This is a demanding role with real ownership. You'll operate with significant autonomy and be expected to drive issues to resolution, not just flag them. If you're low-ego, detail-oriented, and motivated by work that has a direct impact on patient care, we want to hear from you.

If you join, you will:

• Serve as a primary point of contact for pharmacy partners, resolving issues that arise around prescription processing, claims, and patient access

• Support and collaborate with Forus staff pharmacists on complex or escalated cases

• Maintain accurate records and documentation in accordance with state, federal, and company policies

• Contribute to improving internal workflows, flagging recurring issues, and helping build more reliable, scalable processes over time

We'll be most excited if you have:

• [Required] Active PTCB or ExCPTcertification and licensure as a pharmacy technician in the state of Idaho, or eligibility to obtain licensure prior to start date

• 2+ years of experience in a pharmacy setting, with strong familiarity with prescription workflows, third-party billing, and claims adjudication

• Experience working with pharmacy systems and comfort navigating drug and patient databases

• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can explain complex pharmacy issues clearly

• Comfort working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and clinical colleagues in a fast-moving environment

• Prior experience as a pharmacy tech. Prior authorization support and patient access workflows is a strong plus

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:

• 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.
