Senior Manager of Strategy at Upstream USA

At Upstream USA, we believe that contraceptive care is fundamental healthcare. Since our founding in 2014, we have partnered with healthcare organizations across the country to provide free training and technical assistance, ensuring patients can access the care they need where they already receive their medical services. We are a national nonprofit with a bold vision to reach 5 million patients by 2030. Because we operate without government or pharmaceutical funding, we rely on venture philanthropy to drive measurable impact and large-scale change. We are looking for mission-driven individuals to join our team as we continue to grow and transform the landscape of patient-centered care.
