Director, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance

Our mission at Oura is to make health a daily practice, empowering every person to own their inner potential.

At Oura we are building a complete platform for preventative health, from sleep optimization to metabolic health, women’s health, stress management and heart health tracking.

We are looking for a Director, Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance to play a key role in shaping Oura’s future products and services. What you will do:

• Lead regulatory and quality strategy for product development, approval, and lifecycle management for all regulated features.
• Ensure compliance with FDA, CE (MDR), and other relevant global regulatory frameworks.
• Review marketing and promotional materials for regulated and general wellness features.
• Serve as the primary liaison with regulatory agencies and notified bodies.
• Guide the creation and submission of regulatory filings including 510(k)s, De Novo submissions, and international registrations.
• Partner with science, data science, engineering, clinical, marketing, and legal teams to integrate regulatory requirements into product design and development, including clinical evidence strategy.
• Oversee post-market surveillance, adverse event reporting, and regulatory audits.
• Build and manage the RA/QA team, including hiring, mentoring, and performance development.
• Monitor regulatory changes and trends, advising the executive team on potential business impacts.
• Ensure an effective Quality Management System (QMS).

This is a remote US role.

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, engineering, regulatory affairs, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.

• Proven track record of successful FDA submissions (510(k), De Novo) and international regulatory approvals.
• Proven track record of successful management of a quality system, including external audits.
• Deep understanding of software as a medical device (SaMD) and cybersecurity regulations.
• Experience with privacy and data regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment.
