Job description

Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.
Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work - both in and out of the office.
We are seeking a Senior Science Program Manager to serve as a key architect of our international scientific and clinical research portfolio in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). You will not only direct the execution of complex, cross-functional science and clinical initiatives but also shape the strategic collaboration roadmap that aligns our research investments with our long-term commercial and healthcare positioning in the UAE and beyond.
This is a remote role based in the U.S with a strong preference for candidates based on the East Coast (Eastern Time). Oura's remote employees in major cities like Boston, DC, and New York occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.
What you will do:
  • Orchestrate a Strategic Research Portfolio: Define the governance and roadmap for an international research portfolio, ensuring every study and collaboration is strategically aligned with Oura's evidence-based growth objectives.
  • Drive Scientific Governance: Establish the framework for rigorous, compliant research delivery. You will guide and evolve our operational processes into scalable systems that elevate the quality and pace of our scientific pipeline as we scale.
  • Architect Cross-Functional Integration: Serve as the strategic hub between Health Science, Product, Regulatory, and external global partners. You will influence decision-making by translating complex scientific goals into clear, actionable business strategies.
  • Lead Dissemination and Impact: Own the strategic dissemination plan (publications, abstracts, clinical validation), ensuring our research milestones successfully support our brand authority and regulatory trajectory.
  • Cultivate Global Partnerships: Proactively identify and cultivate high impact research partnerships in the region, managing external CROs and academic collaborators to ensure they serve as an extension of Oura's scientific vision.
  • Travel to the UAE and other regional locations to form trusted collaborative relationships with a complex set of partner institutions ranging from local hospital systems, government entities, and academic/scientific partners.

Requirements
We would love to consider you for this role if you have:
  • 6+ years of program or project management experience in scientific, clinical, or health research, including owning studies end to end.
  • An advanced degree (MS or PhD) in a health, life-science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
  • A blend of strategic thinking and robust execution: able to set the direction of research collaborations and then lead the delivery amid ambiguity.
  • Strong working knowledge of the human and clinical research study lifecycle (protocol design and development, IRB/ethics, data collection, and closure) and what rigorous, compliant execution requires.
  • Experience directing complex, cross-functional work across multiple internal teams and external partners (CROs, sites, PIs), ideally across regions and time zones.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate between scientific, technical, product, and partner audiences.
  • Ability to travel to the UAE approximately for onsite visits to support study execution and partner collaboration (~10-15% travel, including international transit)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Prior experience working on and/or leading research initiatives in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
  • Proficiency in Arabic (spoken and written)

Benefits
At Oura, we care about you and your well-being. Everyone here at Oura has a ring of their own and we are continually looking to improve employee health.
What we offer:
  • Competitive salary and equity packages
  • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources
  • An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family
  • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off
  • Paid sick leave and parental leave

Oura takes a market-based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location. US locations are categorized into tiers based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. While most offers will be closer to the starting range, successful candidates' pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, internal peer equity, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future.
  • Region 1: $172,550 - $203,000
  • Region 2: $158,950 - $187,000
  • Region 3: $147,900 - $174,000

A recruiter can determine your Region based on your US location.
We are not considering candidates residing in the following states: Alaska (AK), Delaware (DE), Iowa (IA), Mississippi (MS), Nebraska (NE), South Dakota (SD), West Virginia (WV), and Wisconsin (WI).
Oura is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Individuals seeking employment at Oura are considered without regard to age, ancestry, color, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender identity or expression, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, mental or physical disability, national origin, protected family care or medical leave status, race, religion (including beliefs and practices or the absence thereof), sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws. We will not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on any of these characteristics.
We will work to ensure individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
