• 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.

Qualifications
• 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.
