About the role
- We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.
- 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.
- This is a hybrid-remote role, with the expectation to work from our San Francisco offices at least half-time.
Responsibilities
- Develop research-backed frameworks for how Oura surfaces clinical-grade data (biomarkers, lab results, risk signals) to consumer audiences in a way that's clear, actionable, and emotionally resonant - not alarming.
- Domain Awareness: Experience navigating regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (HIPAA, FDA, IRB) and understanding how those constraints shape research design and product decisions.
- Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential.
- We are looking for a Senior UX Researcher to join our Design Research team, embedded in the Human Care mission.
Requirements
- Collaboration: Proven experience working in cross-functional teams including PMs, clinicians, designers, data scientists, and commercial teams.
- You know how to translate research into the language each stakeholder acts on.
Compensation
- $173k-$203k
Benefits
- In this role, you will represent the voice of the user for a mission that sits at the intersection of consumer experience and healthcare.
- 5+ years of professional UX research experience, with meaningful work at the intersection of consumer product and healthcare, digital health, or clinical technology.
- Demonstrated ability to research complex, high-stakes experiences - medical devices, clinical software, diagnostic tools, telehealth, or patient-facing health apps - where decisions have real consequences.
- Deep understanding of health literacy variation across populations and how to design research that accounts for members ranging from highly health-engaged to newly diagnosed to clinical-care-avoidant.
- Lead user research for the software team connecting members to healthcare partners.
- Partner with the clinical and health science teams to ensure research bridges behavioral and physiological insight - understanding not just what users do but what health context drives those behaviors.
- Build and maintain a longitudinal view of our members from the lens of connected care- their motivations, anxieties, health literacy, and relationship with clinical care - that informs roadmap prioritization.
