About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own end-to-end planning and execution of regulated clinical trials from study start-up through close-out, including feasibility analysis, development of clinical investigation plans, contracts and budgets, timelines, trial oversight, data quality monitoring, and overall study leadership and decision-making.
Contribute to clinical research strategy, ensuring alignment with intended indications, evidence generation plans, and applicable FDA and international regulatory requirements.
Lead sponsor-side CRO and vendor management across the full study lifecycle, including vendor selection, onboarding, governance, issue escalation, and closeout.
Provide guidance and lead escalations on complex clinical quality, CRO, or vendor performance issues, advising senior leadership to support sound, well-informed decision-making.
Partner closely across Science collaborators, Product, Engineering, Regulatory, Quality, Clinical Data Management, Legal, and external partners to align study execution with product, clinical, and regulatory goals.
Translate study requirements into operational plans, including protocol-related planning, study-specific documentation, training, reporting needs, and core study management tools such as dashboards, trackers, and decision logs.
Work closely with CROs and data management partners to ensure high-quality and auditable evidence generation across eCRFs, EDC build, data review workflows, data cleaning, and database lock.
Drive study-level strategic decision-making by proactively identifying emerging risks and challenges, developing scenario plans and contingency options, and proposing innovative solutions to keep trials on track when circumstances change.
Help strengthen and maintain Oura’s Quality Management System by contributing to SOPs, templates, work instructions, and repeatable study playbooks.
Identify systemic risks or gaps across the clinical portfolio, not just within a single study, and proactively recommend process changes to leadership.
Mentor and provide operational guidance to Clinical Trial Managers and Clinical Research Coordinators, supporting colleagues as they navigate escalations, ambiguity, and clinical research feedback.
