What are remote government relations jobs?

Remote government relations jobs involve managing and influencing an organization’s interactions with government agencies and officials, but the work is performed from a remote location rather than in an office or at the capitol. Professionals in these roles track legislation, advocate for policies, and communicate with policymakers, often using digital tools and virtual meetings. Remote government relations jobs can be found in a variety of sectors, including corporations, nonprofits, and consulting firms. These positions require strong communication, research, and networking skills, as well as a good understanding of government processes. Remote work allows for greater flexibility and can expand opportunities for employers and job seekers outside traditional political hubs.

How does a remote government relations professional effectively build and maintain relationships with policymakers and stakeholders?

Working remotely in government relations requires strong communication skills and proactive outreach. Professionals in this role often leverage virtual meetings, phone calls, and digital platforms to connect with policymakers, industry groups, and advocacy organizations. Building trust and staying informed about relevant legislative developments are key, so regular follow-ups and participation in online forums or webinars are common practices. Collaboration with internal teams—such as legal, communications, and public affairs—is essential to ensure consistent messaging and to strategize responses to evolving regulatory issues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote Government Relations professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Government Relations professional, you need strong knowledge of legislative processes, policy analysis, and strategic communication, often supported by a degree in political science, public policy, or a related field. Familiarity with online advocacy platforms, legislative tracking systems, and CRM tools is typically required. Excellent relationship-building, negotiation, and written communication skills set standout professionals apart in this field. These abilities are crucial for effectively influencing policy, representing organizational interests, and maintaining connections with stakeholders from a distance.

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.
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 Lead 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.
While this is a remote opportunity, due to the specific requirements of the role, the successful candidate must reside in the Washington, D.C. metro area and be willing to travel occasionally as needed.
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 and coordinate 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
  • An ŌURA Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family
  • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off
  • Paid sick leave and parental leave
  • Amazing culture of collaborative and passionate coworkers

ŌURA takes a market-based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location. US locations are categorized into tiers based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. While most offers will be closer to the starting range, successful candidates' pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, internal peer equity, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The following is the market-based range for Washington DC:
  • Region 2: $154,700 - $182,000
