Organizational Summary
Contraceptive care is basic healthcare. Yet too many patients in the U.S. struggle to access the care they need, when they need it. Founded in 2014, Upstream USA is a national, nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that equitable, patient-centered contraceptive care is available to everyone.
Our Mission and Impact
Upstream works to ensure individuals can make fully informed, autonomous decisions about the contraceptive methods that are best for them. We are currently the largest contraceptive organization in the country improving contraceptive care in primary care settings, operating in 37 states and Washington, D.C.
While our foundational work focuses on partnering with healthcare organizations offering primary care, such as federally qualified healthcare centers (FQHC) and health systems, we are always evolving. We are actively pursuing additional, innovative paths to ensure every patient has streamlined access to the contraceptive service of their choice, where and when it is most convenient for them.
A Different Kind of Nonprofit
Supported entirely by venture philanthropy, Upstream operates with a culture of aggressive growth and a laser focus on measurable outcomes. To maintain our independence and nonpartisan stance, we do not accept funding from the government or pharmaceutical companies.
We welcome individuals who are driven by impact and scale to join us in making equitable contraceptive access a reality for all.
This is a fully benefited, full-time Upstream USA position that has been funded for 12 months from date of hire. There is the possibility of extension or conversion to a continuing position, contingent upon performance meeting the needs of the department, organizational need, and the continued availability of funding designated to support the position.
Upstream is scaling its use of AI across the organization: in program delivery and practice transformation, partnership success, development, finance, marketing and communications, and within the technology team itself. Reporting to the Director of Data, Analytics and Technology (DAT), this role is a hands-on, forward-deployed position that will embed directly with teams across Upstream to understand how their work gets done, identify where AI can help (and where it doesn't), build working solutions, and stay with those solutions through adoption and measurement.
This is a manager/builder/coach role: you will discover and prioritize use cases, prototype and deliver practical tools, and develop the training and resources that raise AI fluency organization-wide, all while leading tool evaluations, guardrails, and cost stewardship that keep our AI footprint responsible and sustainable.
