About the role

  • Partner with the executive team to translate company strategy into clear annual direction, enterprise priorities, and execution frameworks
  • Lead the annual planning process — setting timelines, aligning cross-functional leaders, and ensuring resources are allocated to the highest-impact opportunities
  • Continuously evolve and operationalize strategy across product, GTM, finance, and operations as conditions change
  • Build and maintain a real-time enterprise portfolio view of major initiatives, resourcing, interdependencies, and performance against plan
  • Maintain a strong, real-time understanding of business performance, competitive dynamics, and emerging risks — bringing clarity and perspective to leadership when it matters most
  • Design and run the company's operating rhythms, including annual planning cycles, quarterly OKR reviews, business performance checkpoints, and executive forums
  • Establish clear decision-making frameworks, accountability mechanisms, and follow-through processes that enable focus and durable growth
  • Lead quarterly business reviews to assess performance, recalibrate strategy, and reallocate resources based on results
  • Build AI-native planning infrastructure that powers Oura’s planning model and portfolio management
  • Proactively identify when the business is overextended, underinvested, or misaligned — and mobilize the right people to resolve it
  • Design and implement the planning infrastructure (frameworks, tooling, operating rituals) that scales with the company and enables execution with speed and clarity
  • Serve as the primary integrator across Product, GTM, Finance, and Operations — clarifying ownership, surfacing trade-offs, and resolving misalignment quickly
  • Lead and develop a high-performing planning and operations team — setting clear expectations, providing mentorship, and building a culture of rigor and speed

Requirements

  • Have 10–12+ years of experience in strategy consulting (MBB preferred) and or corporate strategy with direct ownership of enterprise planning processes
  • Bring executive presence, strong communication skills, and the ability to drive clarity and alignment without positional authority
  • Have experience building operating models and processes in high-growth environments and demonstrate strong strategic orientation and exceptional operational rigor
  • Have the proven ability to design and run operating systems from scratch — not just maintain inherited ones
  • Operate with AI-fluency — you can build scalable planning tools, accelerate analysis, and raise the output quality of the teams around you using AI
  • Have worked with C-suite executives on portfolio management and resource allocation
  • Experience in consumer tech, subscription businesses, or digital health (a plus)
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and equity packages
  • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources
  • An Oura 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
