Senior Manager, Strategy and Operations - job 1 of 2

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 have offices in San Francisco and San Diego for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Oura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations. 

As part of our Strategy & Operations team, you will be a key driver of Oura's growth and evolution. You will support the development of future growth strategies, drive Oura’s strategic planning and tackle operational challenges facing the business. This role requires a highly strategic, analytical individual with a strong bias for action and the ability to navigate ambiguity to drive impact across the organization. We are looking for someone who loves to solve problems, is intellectually curious and ideally has a background in management consulting or strategy and operations in healthcare, consumer electronics, or CPG. 

What you will do: 

  • Develop future growth strategies for the business e.g., analysing new market opportunities, competitive landscaping, business case modeling
  • Build strategic capabilities (e.g., data-driven processes, frameworks, analytical tools, etc.) to identify and prioritize new opportunities for the business
  • Build financial models and investment cases for new capabilities that support the growth strategy
  • Inform leadership perspectives on opportunities and threats e.g., market research, technology assessments, competitive analysis, customer segmentation
  • Craft and develop high-quality executive presentations and materials for the C-suite and leadership on-sites
  • Support leadership across the business with annual planning, facilitating cross-functional alignment and resource allocation
  • Work with the Director, Strategic & Operations to structure complex and potentially ambiguous ad hoc operational/business issues and develop insightful recommendations

This is a remote US role with a slight preference for candidates based in the PST timezone.

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

  • 7-9+ years of professional experience at a management consulting firm, investment bank or related strategy team
  • Proven experience working with executive leadership in a Chief of Staff, strategy, or similar high-impact role
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence across all levels of the organization
  • Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, financial modeling capabilities (e.g., Excel) and the ability to build simple but impactful presentations for executive audiences
  • The ability to navigate ambiguity and complexity with effective prioritization and out of the box, creative problem solving  
  • Familiarity with direct-to-consumer businesses, healthcare and the digital health space

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: $130,000 - $160,000
  • Region 2: $120,000 - $150,000
  • Region 3: $115,000 - $140,000 

A recruiter can determine your zones/tiers based on your US location.

We are not considering candidates residing in the following states: Alaska (AK), Arkansas (AR), Delaware (DE), Iowa (IA), Mississippi (MS), Missouri (MO), Nebraska (NE), Oklahoma (OK), Rhode Island (RI), South Dakota (SD), Vermont (VT), West Virginia (WV), and Wisconsin (WI)

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.
