## About the role

Own and evolve Oura's product visual language for illustration, photography, and iconography; defining principles, guardrails, and a quality bar that scales across the app. Set photography direction and curation standards for product surfaces: subject matter, composition, lighting, tone, and sourcing, ensuring imagery feels human, contemporary, and trustworthy.

## What they're looking for

- 15+ years of design experience, with at least 10 years operating as a high-influence individual contributor at a staff or principal level, setting direction and raising quality without relying on formal authority
- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional UI craft alongside systems thinking: cohesive experiences at scale, not just individual screens for world class companies
- The ability to hold and defend a strong aesthetic point of view while remaining genuinely open to input and collaboration
- Deep fluency with mobile design: interaction patterns, platform conventions, motion, and the nuanced decisions that make an app feel alive or flat
- Strong curatorial instincts across imagery, motion, and visual storytelling, with an understanding of how these elements shape trust, emotion, and brand in a health and fitness context
- Excellent communication skills: you can make the invisible visible, explaining why a decision is right, what's missing in a design, or where a system is breaking down
