Job description

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.

We are looking for:

A Senior Manager, IT Systems / Platform Engineering to own the infrastructure, identity, and engineering programs that keep Oura's global workforce running at scale.

You will lead a technically excellent team responsible for enterprise identity (Okta, Lumos, Delinea), network infrastructure, endpoint engineering, remote access modernization, and Oura's Joiner/Mover/Leaver transformation — serving as the management layer above a senior engineering team, setting the tempo, owning delivery outcomes, and translating technical complexity into clear business direction for cross-functional leadership.

The right person brings real technical credibility that their team and vendors will recognize immediately. You contribute hands‑on where your depth adds the most leverage — architecture reviews, identity design decisions, vendor technical validation — while spending the majority of your time on people, programs, and strategic leadership.

What you will do:

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of senior IT platform engineers — actively growing them toward informal domain ownership across Identity, Endpoint, and Security Engineering; own the full people management lifecycle: hiring, onboarding, performance, career development, and succession
• Own delivery accountability across IT's major programs — identity maturation, PAM deployment, network‑as‑a‑service delivery, and remote access modernization — not executing every task, but accountable for every outcome; partner with the Staff Engineer to sequence the technical roadmap and protect strategic programs from BAU erosion
• Own delivery relationships with key technology vendors and implementation partners — milestone accountability, performance governance, and risk escalation without requiring executive involvement
• Lead programs across Security, GRC, Legal, People, and Finance as a true business partner; translate complex technical risk into clear, actionable business language for executive stakeholders; influence without authority across functions
• Own the maturation of Oura's enterprise identity program end‑to‑end — PAM deployment, IGA governance, and Joiner/Mover/Leaver automation are organizational priorities; ensure delivery meets compliance and audit‑readiness requirements in partnership with Security and Compliance
• Apply your technical depth where it has the highest leverage — architecture reviews, identity design decisions, vendor technical validation, and engineering escalations; remain a credible peer to your senior engineers and delivery partners

This is a remote US‑East role with strong preference in NY, NJ, CT, PA or MA.

Requirements

• 8+ years in enterprise IT with at least 3+ years managing technical teams at or above Senior Manager level in a high‑growth, fast‑paced technology company
• Deeply technical career foundation — you've personally built and operated identity platforms, managed Okta/Entra or equivalent environments, deployed MDM/UEM, and run network infrastructure before stepping into management; that hands‑on experience shapes how you lead today
• Hands‑on Okta or modern enterprise IAM proficiency — proven across at least one full IAM/IGA program delivery; JML automation, IGA governance, PAM vaulting, SCIM provisioning, and compliance controls are part of your working vocabulary
• Multi‑cloud fluency across platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) — you've operated in a multi‑cloud environment and make informed infrastructure and architecture decisions with confidence
• Proven track record building and scaling technical teams — developed engineers into domain leads, structured teams for growth, and retained strong talent in a competitive market across 2+ organizations
• Vendor and partner management experience — owned commercial relationships, held partners to milestones, and managed escalation paths without requiring executive involvement
• Cross‑functional influence — equally effective driving alignment with Legal, Finance, and People as in a technical architecture review; influences without authority across 3+ organizational functions
• Exceptional communicator — written, verbal, and executive‑ready; AI‑first mindset and employee experience focus reflected in how you lead, build, and make decisions
• Proficient in agile methodologies; Jira and Confluence are everyday tools, not afterthoughts
• This role is part of a rotating on‑call schedule for critical IT infrastructure incidents; comfort with occasional after‑hours response is required
