[Hiring] Clinical Evaluation Lead @Ōura

Role Description

As the Clinical Evaluation Lead you will bring your clinical and evaluation expertise into a fast‑moving, technology‑driven environment. While a member of the Clinical Affairs team, you will work day‑to‑day with product, engineering, data science, and AI teams to define, test, and maintain the quality bar for Oura’s AI‑powered health experiences. You’re the clinician‑scientist who translates our clinical stance and risk thresholds into clear evaluation suites, go/no‑go criteria, and monitoring patterns that keep our guidance safe, trustworthy, and easy to explain.

• Build trust in Oura’s AI‑powered health experiences
• Help define what “good enough to ship” means for AI behavior across higher‑risk journeys, focusing on member safety, appropriate use of data, and clear boundaries between wellness and clinical advice.
• Design and run clinical evaluation suites
• Translate high‑level evaluation strategy and risk tiers into concrete evaluation plans: scenario libraries, scoring rubrics, and pass/fail criteria that systematically test safety, data use, and communication quality for each release.
• Turn evaluation results into clear product decisions
• Summarize evaluation outcomes into concise, decision‑ready views for product managers and clinical leadership — including go/no‑go recommendations, key risks, and trends over time.
• Make evaluation repeatable and scalable
• Develop templates, checklists, and playbooks so new AI journeys can plug into existing evaluation patterns.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally on risk and guardrails
• Partner with product, engineering, data science, clinical, regulatory, and outcomes teams to align on evaluation requirements, launch criteria, and monitoring plans.
• Support clinical governance and external storytelling
• Contribute evaluation inputs to clinical governance forums and help Oura articulate a credible, high‑level narrative on how we evaluate and oversee AI behavior for members, clinicians, and partners.

Qualifications

• Advanced training and experience in a health‑related field, such as RN/NP/PA, PharmD, or MD/DO (or equivalent)
• MS/MPH in a discipline like epidemiology, health informatics, biostatistics, or related area with demonstrable experience in digital health or clinical product development.
• 5+ years of experience in healthcare or digital health roles that involved clinical evaluation, quality/safety programs, or algorithm/AI‑enabled products.
• Hands-on experience designing or running evaluation or validation workflows for algorithms, AI/ML models, or clinical decision support tools.
• Strong clinical literacy and comfort reasoning about symptoms, risk factors, guidelines, and escalation thresholds across common cardiometabolic and general medical scenarios.
• Proven ability to work effectively with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Regulatory/Clinical Affairs, and to influence without direct authority.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to turn complex evaluation concepts into clear frameworks and one‑page summaries for diverse audiences, including leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience evaluating or building AI‑powered health applications or other high‑risk digital health systems.
• Familiarity with evaluation and observability tooling for monitoring AI behavior over time.
• Background in health systems, digital therapeutics, or regulated health products, especially around evidence generation and safety/quality oversight.
• Comfort collaborating on data pipelines and evaluation scripts.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity packages
• Health, dental, and vision insurance, plus mental health resources
• An Oura Ring of your own, plus employee discounts for friends and family
• Generous paid time off, company holidays, and flexible wellness time
• Paid sick leave and parental leave
• Oura takes a market‑based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location.
