At Oura, our mission is to empower every person to own their inner potential. With our award-winning Oura Ring and app, we help over 2.5 million people turn insights about sleep, activity, and readiness into healthier, more balanced lives.

• Manage and grow a team of research coordinators—scale our in-house research study capabilities in the San Diego location
• Expand our network of research partners—identify, vet, and build relationships with institutional partners and CROs to complement our internal capabilities
• Collaborate with science and engineering teams—develop tools to ensure high-quality data collection and thorough documentation
