About the role
We're looking for a Government Relations Manager to support Obvio's state and local legislative and regulatory efforts. To date, Obvio's founders have helped pass bills in the states of Maryland and Virginia, opening the door to operate in select counties. As we expand into new states and cities, you'll be on the ground executing the campaigns, relationships, and research that make that expansion possible — working closely with our Head of Government Relations to turn strategy into results.
What they're looking for
- 5-8 years of experience in state or local government relations, public affairs, campaigns, or a related field
- Direct experience supporting or helping execute a state or local legislative campaign (bill tracking, coalition support, stakeholder outreach, or similar)
- Solid understanding of how state legislatures and county/city government processes work
- Strong written and verbal communication skills — comfortable drafting materials for officials and representing Obvio in external meetings
- Highly organized, with the ability to track multiple states, relationships, and timelines simultaneously
- Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment, and willing to travel to target states/cities as needed
More about this role
Each year, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. leave home and never make it back due to traffic crashes. At Obvio, we believe these deaths are preventable. We deploy solar-powered, AI-assisted cameras to enforce traffic laws where pedestrians are most vulnerable, automating enforcement in ways that traditional systems cannot. Our approach has already led to a 50% reduction in reckless driving in early partner cities.
Founded by the team behind Motive's AI dashcam and backed by Bain Capital Ventures and Khosla Ventures, we are building the intelligence layer for safer streets globally.
