Full Job Description
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. Benefits At Ōura, we care about you and your well-being. Everyone here at Ōura 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 Ōura 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 Ōura takes a market-based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location.
