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’re looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our Science team in the United States. In this role, you'll manage the cross-functional R&D process behind new health sensing capabilities — partnering with Science, Hardware, Firmware, Software, and Product to keep complex programs on track from planning through execution.

What You Will Do:
  • Own integrated project plans for R&D efforts — timelines, milestones, risks, dependencies, and decision paths for Science.
  • Partner with scientists, technical and program managers, and functional leaders to translate scientific and sensing needs into clear requirements, interfaces, and escalation paths — working with technical leads to resolve ambiguous or high-judgment calls.
  • Coordinate hand-offs across teams and negotiate commitments people can actually hit.
  • Apply working knowledge of algorithm development practices and hardware build-and-test cycles to spot readiness gaps across testing, validation, and readiness reviews, and turn them into concrete, actionable requirements in partnership with the relevant technical owner.
  • Surface risks early and drive decisions to closure across R&D initiatives.
  • Maintain clear ownership and change tracking for protocols, specifications, and readiness criteria within your program's scope.
  • Contribute to improving how Science runs projects — cutting duplication, standardizing only where it reduces friction.

This is a remote US role with a slight preference for candidates based in San Francisco or San Diego.

What you'll bring
  • 4+ years leading scientific or technical projects, with clear ownership of milestones, dependencies, risks, and cross-functional execution within a defined program scope.
  • Experience managing projects in a scientific, engineering, or product-validation environment; human-subjects research and/or wearable tech experience is strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of algorithm development practices and hardware build-and-test cycles sufficient to spot readiness gaps across testing, validation, and readiness reviews and translate them into concrete requirements — with support from technical leads on ambiguous or high-stakes calls.
  • Comfortable negotiating timelines against real team capacity, clarifying ownership, and pushing back constructively.
  • Experience working across international, distributed teams — including flexing hours to collaborate with European colleagues.
  • Strong attention to detail, with a track record of clear documentation — decision logs, risk registers, readiness trackers, or similar artifacts that keep cross-functional teams aligned without you in the room.
  • Technical degree, or equivalent experience demonstrating strong technical fluency in a scientific/engineering environment.
