Director, Supply Chain & Strategy
About The Position
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. Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office. The Role We are seeking a Director, Supply Chain & Strategy to join Oura's Supply Chain organization. This is a senior leadership role sitting at the intersection of operational execution and long-horizon strategic thinking. The Director will serve as the connective tissue between day-to-day supply chain operations and Oura's broader growth agenda — owning how the organization measures itself, tells its story to senior leadership and external stakeholders, and shapes its multi-year trajectory. The ideal candidate is a high-agency operator who has built functions and processes from scratch, thrives in high-ambiguity environments, and is equally at home translating complex operational data into executive-ready narratives and rolling up their sleeves to build the infrastructure that enables faster, higher-quality decisions. Experience bridging commercial and operational thinking — understanding how supply chain decisions connect to revenue, margin, and growth — is a strong differentiator. This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco office with the expectation to be onsite 3 days per week.
Requirements
- 15+ years of experience spanning strategy, operations, or supply chain — with demonstrated progression into senior leadership and a track record of building in ambiguous, high-growth environments.
- Proven ability to build processes, reporting systems, and operating cadences from scratch; comfortable owning a function before the playbook exists.
- Experience preparing materials for Board of Directors, investors, or other external stakeholders; comfort with investment-grade narrative and financial rigor.
- Commercial fluency — you understand how supply chain decisions connect to revenue, margin, and growth, and can translate between operational and business outcomes.
- Deep fluency in supply chain metrics and financial linkages: COGS, gross margin, E&O, inventory turns, cash conversion cycle, warranty.
- Strong cross-functional partnership skills — able to influence Finance, Product, Hardware Engineering, and Commercial teams without direct authority.
- Experience developing multi-year supply chain strategies in high-growth consumer hardware, technology, or capital-intensive industries.
- AI-native working style — you actively use AI tools to accelerate analysis, improve communication quality, and scale your team's output.
- Exceptional executive communication skills: able to distill complexity into clear, concise narratives for senior audiences.
- Proficiency with modern data and analytics tools; experience building or scaling BI infrastructure is a plus.
- Experience with global manufacturing footprints, multi-CM environments, geopolitical supply risk, or cross-border operations is a strong plus.

Responsibilities
- Own the design, standardization, and continuous improvement of supply chain data and business reporting across the organization — including cadence, metrics, format, and distribution.
- Run the supply chain business review rhythm: weekly operational reviews, monthly leadership reviews, and quarterly deep-dives — ensuring each forum drives decisions, not just updates.
- Build and maintain a single source of truth for supply chain KPIs (OTD, E&O, warranty, COGS vs. should-cost, inventory turns, cash conversion cycle) and partner with Data & Analytics to automate reporting pipelines.
- Leverage AI and modern data tooling to accelerate insight generation, surface anomalies proactively, and reduce manual reporting burden across the organization.
- Lead the development of Oura's multi-year supply chain strategy in partnership with Finance, Product, Hardware Engineering, and Commercial teams — translating product roadmap and growth targets into operational capability requirements.
- Drive make-vs-buy, dual-source, and footprint decisions that balance resilience, cost, and time-to-market across Oura's global manufacturing network.
- Partner with the CSCO on org design, capability building, and the operating model.
- Prepare and deliver supply chain materials for Board of Directors updates and senior executive reviews — translating operational complexity into clear, credible narratives.
- Partner with Finance and Legal to ensure supply chain data integrity and narrative consistency across external-facing materials.
- Champion the adoption of AI and automation tools across supply chain functions — from demand signal enrichment and supplier risk monitoring to document processing, scenario planning, and executive communication.
- Identify where AI can replace manual workflows, increase analytical throughput, or improve decision quality; build the internal playbook for responsible AI deployment in supply chain contexts.
- Partner with IT/Systems and Data teams to build the data foundation required to scale AI use cases across planning, sourcing, logistics, and quality.
- Operate as a senior partner to the supply chain leadership team (Supply Planning, Sourcing, NPI, Logistics, Manufacturing, Quality) — bringing structure, analytical support, and strategic challenge to each function.
- Drive operating cadence and accountability mechanisms across the supply chain organization.
Benefits

- 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
