Oura – Director, Corporate Strategy

  • Anywhere

● TALENT ONE MARKET INTELLIGENCE: OURA

🔥 TALENT LIQUIDITY:
High demand for strategy leaders who understand the intersection of hardware, data science, and recurring revenue. Supply is constrained by the rarity of ‘hardware-native’ strategists.

📈 ALPHA SIGNAL:
This role is the architect of the company’s next valuation jump. By owning the business model evolution, you are positioning yourself for a C-suite exit; this is how you secure a mortgage that reflects executive-level equity upside.

EST. COMPENSATION
$220k – $280k Base + Equity Package
SECTOR HEAT
85.8/100
CANDIDATE PROTOCOL: Do not lead with generalist strategy. Lead with your experience in ‘unit economics of hardware’ and ‘subscription retention modeling.’ That is the specific moat they need to bridge.
