Clinical Director, Metabolic Health in London

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.

As the Clinical Director of Metabolic Health you will bring your expertise in endocrinology or metabolic medicine into a fast-moving, technology-driven environment. While a member of the Clinical Affairs team, your day to day will be in partnership with hardware, algorithm, science and regulatory teams to define, validate and bring to market metabolic-relevant features that enhance Oura's ability to monitor and support metabolic-related health.

What you'll do:

• Build trust and credibility for Oura and our products for members, physicians, scientists and health systems.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, data science and algorithm teams to define clinical features aligned with metabolic health, including integrations with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and laboratory testing.
• Collaborate on clinical feature specifications: Translate your metabolic health knowledge and existing literature into real-world informed performance goals, working closely with science and product teams.
• Design and oversee clinical validation studies (feasibility, observational, real-world) to demonstrate product performance and clinical relevance in the metabolic space.
• Work with regulatory, quality and clinical outcomes teams to build protocols, drive submissions and ensure compliance in applicable markets, and adapt to the changing regulatory environment in major markets.
• Engage cross-functionally: proactively anticipate risks, communicate clearly about challenges, adjust plans, and maintain a collaborative mindset.
• Serve as a clinical voice across the organization: staying abreast of the newest and most relevant medical insights, weaving this science into product decisions, translating this into company knowledge and features.
• Guide the team on inclusion of appropriate biometrics and ground truth data, clinical endpoints, and study design. Uplevel internal knowledge across teams related to this domain of medicine and science.
• Represent Oura externally to scientific audiences, payors, partners, clinicians and health systems.

What we're looking for:

• MD/DO/MBBS/Consultant/GP (or local equivalent) with deep expertise in general endocrinology, metabolic medicine, or related specialty.
• Board-certified in Internal Medicine, Endocrinology or a related specialty with an active medical license.
• At least 5 years practicing medicine in a relevant field.
• Prior experience in health product development or digital health, in regulated environments (software as a medical device/SaMD, wearables, diagnostics).
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable presenting to diverse teams including leadership.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience designing and executing pivotal clinical studies for regulated health products (evidence generation, real-world observational datasets, algorithm validation).
• Familiarity with algorithm/ML development in a clinical context (glycemic patterns, insulin resistance markers, or metabolic-physiology signals) and with the application of statistical analysis to clinical algorithms.
• Familiarity with diagnostic and wearable signals, their physiologic origins and the principles behind their measurement modalities.
• Experience partnering with regulatory bodies (FDA, EU MDR/IVDR, or equivalent) on product submissions for metabolic health tools.

Why you'll love working here:

• Get to jump in as a direct contributor to Oura's vision, working deeply with our cross functional colleagues, with the potential to grow a team, expand your influence internally and external to Oura.
• Make a direct impact on millions of users seeking better sleep, recovery, and metabolic health insights.
• Work in a small team setting where your clinical insight directly guides product direction and innovation.
• Collaborate across hardware, firmware, algorithm, data science, design and clinical operations — and have your clinical voice heard.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and an opportunity to be part of a company that puts wellness, science and innovation at the center.
