Senior Manager, Health Informatics

We have offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Oura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

As Senior Manager, Health Informatics, you will define the semantic, terminology, and governance systems behind Oura’s member-facing health experiences. You will partner across Product, Design, Engineering, Science, AI, and Regulatory & Clinical Affairs to translate clinical evidence and structured health concepts into safe, scalable, member-friendly guidance. This is a hands-on informatics role for someone who can move fluidly between ontology design, product decision-making, and cross-functional execution.

What you will do:

• Design and evolve the semantic foundation for member-facing health experiences, including ontologies, schemas, value sets, metadata models, and terminology systems.
• Translate complex clinical concepts into clear, safe, intuitive in-app guidance that reflects both scientific rigor and product usability.
• Build scalable taxonomies, controlled vocabularies, content models, and information architecture that improve consistency across app surfaces, prompts, labels, search, and future health features.
• Define rules and governance for how health information is classified, surfaced, reviewed, and maintained across the product lifecycle.
• Support personalized and AI-enabled health experiences by helping structure the safe use of wearable, survey, behavioral, and EHR data.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, Science, Clinical, and Regulatory teams to align informatics decisions with product needs, technical implementation, and clinical quality.

We would love to consider you for this role if you have:

• Advanced training, such as RN/NP/PA, MD/DO, or MS/MPH, in a relevant clinical, health informatics, or related discipline, with demonstrated experience in digital health or clinical product development.
• 5+ years of experience in health informatics, clinical ontology, taxonomy, terminology, health data modeling, knowledge management, or related work in digital health, healthcare, or health technology.
• Hands-on experience with clinical terminologies such as SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC, and ICD-10, and applying them to product-ready schemas, knowledge graphs, decision logic, or data models.
• Experience designing scalable information architecture, controlled vocabularies, taxonomy systems, metadata models, or governance frameworks for digital products.
• Strong judgment in translating clinical information into clear, member-friendly guidance without compromising rigor or safety.
• Experience working closely with software and data engineering teams in modern product development environments.
• Proven ability to work effectively across Product, Design, Engineering, Science, Clinical, and Regulatory teams.
• Commitment to health equity, inclusive design, and building systems that support diverse global populations.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience building or governing ontology-backed or rules-based systems for personalized health guidance, clinical decision support, or consumer health experiences.
• Familiarity with AI or large language model applications in healthcare, especially where structured knowledge, terminology, or review systems support quality and consistency.
• Experience partnering with UX writing, content design, localization, or design systems teams on structured in-app guidance.
• Familiarity with EHR or interoperability standards and the challenges of representing clinical data in consumer-facing products.
• Comfort collaborating on implementation details, evaluation logic, or data pipelines with engineering and science partners.

Why you’ll love working here

• Shape how Oura translates health science into product experiences used by millions.
• Work at the intersection of clinical practice, informatics, AI, product, and design in a role that is both strategic and hands-on.
• Help build the systems that make Oura’s health guidance more accurate, scalable, trustworthy, and member-centered.
