About the Role
At ŌURA, we're building the future of proactive health by translating human signals into actionable insights that improve performance, recovery, and long-term wellbeing. As we continue to scale our healthcare and enterprise partnerships, we're expanding our Government Relations function and are looking for a Government Relations Principal to help advance ŌURA's federal policy priorities. This role is grounded in government relations and healthcare policy, while also requiring comfort operating across a broad range of issues and stakeholders. The ideal candidate brings a strong healthcare policy background, understands business and revenue considerations, and can flex between strategic thinking and hands-on execution while partnering closely with teams across Human Performance (HP), Healthcare, Legal, and Commercial.
What You'll Do
  • Support and help execute ŌURA's federal government relations strategy, with a focus on healthcare, human performance, access, and revenue-related policy issues
  • Work closely with ŌURA's Human Performance (HP) and healthcare teams to ensure policy efforts are aligned with clinical, research, and enterprise priorities
  • Monitor, assess, and communicate relevant legislative, regulatory, and political developments that may impact ŌURA's business, partnerships, or growth opportunities
  • Develop policy positions, advocacy materials, and briefings that translate complex healthcare and technology topics into clear, business-relevant insights
  • Build and maintain relationships with Members of Congress, Congressional staff, trade associations, federal agencies, and other key external stakeholders to educate and advocate on ŌURA's policy priorities
  • Support, coordinate, and lead meetings, briefings, and engagements on Capitol Hill and with external partners as needed
  • Assist in managing ŌURA's participation in relevant trade associations, coalitions, and industry groups, ensuring alignment with company objectives
  • Operate comfortably across multiple workstreams, stepping in to support emerging priorities, time-sensitive issues, and cross-functional initiatives as the business evolves

What We're Looking For
  • Background in healthcare policy, government relations, public policy, or regulatory affairs, preferably within health tech, medtech, life sciences, or a related field
  • Experience engaging with Congress, federal agencies, and trade associations
  • Strong understanding of how public policy intersects with business strategy, enterprise partnerships, and revenue growth
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and translate policy developments into actionable guidance for business teams
  • Comfortable balancing strategic priorities with hands-on execution in a fast-moving environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • DC-based, travel as needed, and regularly engage on Capitol Hill

Benefits
At ŌURA, we care about you and your well-being. Everyone here at ŌURA has a ring of their own and we are continually looking to improve employee health and add to our benefits!
What we offer:
  • Competitive salary and equity packages
  • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources

  • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off

  • Amazing culture of collaborative and passionate coworkers
