Senior Manager, Clinical Research Operations

Our Research Operations team helps turn that ambition into reality by designing and executing human research studies, which power our R&D and bolster our scientific credibility.

This is a foundational role where you will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling Oura’s clinical research operations function. Your work will directly enable regulatory submissions and unlock new product capabilities for Oura’s users.

What you will do:

• Own and oversee all aspects of clinical trials—including feasibility analysis, budgets, contracts, development of clinical investigation plans and protocols, regulatory submissions, logistics, troubleshooting, and data quality monitoring 
• Manage and grow a clinical operations squad—scaling our in-house research study capabilities
• Expand our network of research partners—identifying, vetting, and building relationships with institutional partners and CROs to complement our internal capabilities
• Collaborate with science, engineering, regulatory, clinical, product, and legal teams—developing efficient processes to enable regulatory submissions
• Build internal processes—proposing and implementing new tools, processes, and templates that allow the team to move faster while preserving scientific rigor

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• 5+ years of full-time experience running clinical trials end-to-end, including at least 2 years supervising staff and managing CRO/vendor relationships
• A track record of managing research studies for regulatory submissions in an industry setting, including study startup, requirement identification, resource allocation, study execution/maintenance, compliance, risk management, and source documentation 
• Expertise with digital health or medical device trials (SaMD), with a proven ability to work with multiple data streams (e.g. EEG, CGM, ePRO, consumer wearables), resolve quality issues at the source, and fulfill regulatory requirements (FDA, GCP, ICH)
• Exceptional documentation and process-building skills, including authoring SOPs, templates, and study documentation that stand up to regulatory scrutiny, and a growth-oriented mindset
• Experience working on large cross-functional teams in a fast-paced setting, bringing structure to ambiguity
• Flexibility with scheduling: comfortable with occasional site visits and global team calls outside normal business hours
