Director, Partnerships

At Oura, our mission is to empower every person to own their inner potential. With our award-winning Oura Ring and app, we help over 2.5 million people turn insights about sleep, activity, and readiness into healthier, more balanced lives. We believe that starts from within — by creating a culture where our team feels supported, included, and inspired to do their best work. Our values guide how we show up for each other and our community every day.

We have offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles 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.

You will be a senior deal-maker, relationship-builder and strategist who turns our ecosystem partnership vision into reality. You’ll own the full partnership life-cycle, from sourcing and structuring deals to orchestrating flawless cross-functional execution with product, engineering, legal, and other relevant teams. 

What you'll do:

• Source & qualify new strategic partnership opportunities across all key pillars of our product and ecosystem enhancing the value of Oura for our members. 
• Negotiate & close complex commercial agreements that unlock revenue, distribution, and strategic advantage.
• Nourish & cultivate existing partnerships Oura has in place to make the most out of them in the long-term. 
• Rally the org—drive excitement and alignment across functions so launches land on time and exceed expectations.
• Lead & mentor the partnerships squad as our headcount grows.

• A robust network of decision-makers across health, wellness, and digital health ecosystems, and the credibility to leverage them.
• Demonstrated success leading teams (both directly and in a matrix) toward ambitious commercial targets.
• Outstanding communication skills: you translate complex concepts into crisp narratives for execs, partners, and cross-functional peers.
• A driven, self-starting mindset—comfortable with ambiguity, energized by building from zero to one.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with wearables, data-integration partnerships, or regulated health products.
• Global deal experience (NA, EU, APAC) and familiarity with multi-market rollout playbooks.
• Background in scaling partnership ops tools/processes for a lean team.

Logistics & culture:
