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.

As the Clinical Director of Heart Health you will bring your cardiovascular expertise into a fast-moving, technology-driven environment. While a member of the Clinical Affairs team, your day to day will be in partnership with hardware, algorithm, science and regulatory teams to define, validate and bring to market features focused on cardiovascular health. You’re the clinician-scientist who bridges human physiology and wearable product innovation with a deep focus on software as a medical device (SaMD) as well as wellness products.

What You Will Do

• Build trust and credibility for Oura and our products for members, physicians, scientists and health systems.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, data science and algorithm teams to define clinical requirements, indications and guardrails.
• Collaborate on clinical feature specifications: Translate cardiology knowledge and existing literature into real-world informed performance goals, working closely with science and product teams.
• Design and oversee clinical validation studies (feasibility, observational, real-world) to demonstrate product performance and clinical relevance.
• Work with regulatory, quality and clinical outcomes teams to build protocols, drive submissions and ensure compliance in applicable markets, and adapt to the changing regulatory environment in major markets.
• Engage cross-functionally: proactively anticipate risks, communicate clearly about challenges, adjust plans, and maintain a collaborative mindset.
• Serve as a clinical lead across the organization: translate medical insights into product decisions, guide the team on physiology, clinical endpoints, and study design.
• Represent Oura externally to scientific audiences, payors, partners, clinicians and health systems.
  
  

We would love to consider you for this role if you have:

• MD/DO/MBBS (or equivalent) with deep expertise in general cardiology or related specialty.
• Board-certified in Cardiology or a related specialty with an active medical license.
• At least 5 years practicing medicine in a relevant field (e.g. residency, fellowship, faculty).
• At least 2 years of experience in health product development or digital health, in regulated environments (software as a medical device/SaMD, wearables, diagnostics). Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable presenting to diverse teams including leadership.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing and executing pivotal clinical studies for regulated health products (evidence generation, real-world observational datasets, algorithm validation).
• Experience partnering with regulatory bodies (FDA, EU MDR/IVDR, or equivalent) on product submissions.
• Familiarity with algorithm/ML development in a clinical context (cardio-physiology signals, ECGs, arrhythmia detection, etc) and with the application of statistical analysis to clinical algorithms.
• Familiarity with diagnostic and wearable signals, their physiologic origins and the principles behind their measurement modalities.
  
  

Why you’ll love working here

• Get to jump in as a direct contributor to Oura’s vision, working deeply with our cross functional colleagues, with the potential to grow a team, expand your influence internally and external to Oura.
• Make a direct impact on millions of users seeking better sleep, recovery, and heart-health insights.
• Work in a small team setting where your clinical insight directly guides product direction and innovation.
