About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead user research for the software team connecting members to healthcare partners. Plan, conduct, and analyze a range of user research studies, including ethnographic studies, contextual inquiries, user interviews, surveys, and diary studies to gather both qualitative and quantitative data.
Bring clinical and regulatory context into product decisions — understanding how FDA-regulated features, HIPAA consent flows, and EHR integrations shape what's possible and what's appropriate for members.
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.
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.

Requirements

What you’ll need

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.
Experience navigating regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (HIPAA, FDA, IRB) and understanding how those constraints shape research design and product decisions.
Strong point of view on how to make clinical data legible and meaningful to non-clinical audiences — you've wrestled with the problem of surfacing biomarkers, risk indicators, or diagnostic signals without inducing unnecessary anxiety or oversimplification.
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.
You can operate independently across multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize ruthlessly, and build a research program that is respected.
