This role partners closely with Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, and Finance to ensure that all capital investments meet business requirements for cost, quality, scalability, and reliability.

- Develop a deep understanding of equipment and tooling technologies used in high-precision manufacturing, automation, and enclosure production. Continuously monitor market trends, supplier capabilities, and emerging technologies to identify opportunities for process improvement, equipment reuse, and cost reduction.
- Identify, qualify, and manage strategic supplier relationships. Conduct business reviews, supplier capability assessments, and drive alignment on performance metrics, continuous improvement, and innovation initiatives.
- Lead commercial negotiations and contracting for all CapEx-related procurements, including equipment, tooling, installation, and service agreements. Ensure compliance with NDAs, T&Cs, and lifecycle cost management best practices.
- Develop and maintain cost models, should-cost analyses, and benchmarking frameworks for capital investments, incorporating total cost of ownership (TCO), depreciation, and ROI analysis. Support budget planning and forecasting across global programs.
- Partner with Hardware Engineering, NPI Manufacturing, and Operations to define technical and functional specifications for equipment and tooling, and ensure supplier deliverables align with Oura’s production readiness timelines.
- Champion continuous improvement in sourcing processes, supplier engagement, and capital investment governance. Support system adoption, asset reuse, and global alignment on equipment lifecycle management practices. Influence cross-functional teams to implement best-in-class CapEx management methodologies.
