Hardware Operations Program Specialist

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. 

Oura's NPI Supply Chain Operations team is responsible for taking new hardware programs from early builds through mass production, on schedule, at quality, and within budget. We're looking for an Operations Program Specialist (OPS) who can own the financial backbone of our NPI programs while also staying close enough to the factory floor to understand what's driving the numbers.

The majority of your time will be spent managing and reconciling NPI program budgets across multiple hardware programs and contract manufacturers — tracking build spend, closing gaps between forecast and actuals, and giving leadership a clear, trustworthy picture of where the money is going. The remainder of your time will be spent supporting factory builds directly: coordinating material readiness, tracking build risks, and helping ensure lines come up on schedule.

You'll work across Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and Finance, and directly with our contract manufacturers.

This is a hybrid role requiring someone to work out of our San Francisco office 2-3 days a week.

What You Will Do:

Budget Management & Reconciliation

• Lead the FY budget development for Operations in conjunction with the broader Supply Chain and Engineering teams.
• Own the day-to-day tracking and reconciliation of NPI program budgets across multiple concurrent hardware programs, including ops builds, tooling, and NPI-related capital and operating expenses.
• Partner with program leads, sourcing, engineering, and finance to understand the drivers behind any variance between forecasted and actual spend, and drive resolution.
• Maintain and evolve budget consolidation workbooks and reporting tools that roll program-level detail up into executive-ready summaries.
• Manage the reallocation of funds across programs and cost categories as priorities shift, ensuring every change is accounted for and traceable.
