Sr. Analyst, Technology & Project Management (Reproductive Healthcare - Hybrid)

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

Upstream is a venture philanthropy-backed nonprofit with a current annual budget of $50M+. Operating in a dynamic external landscape, Upstream maintains a high-performance culture anchored in actionable, observable behaviors. It keeps its patient-centered mission at the core of every decision, continually adapting and embracing change to meet evolving patient needs. Its culture prioritizes resilience, strategic nimbleness, and a focus on measurable outcomes over effort—ensuring it remains responsive, accountable, and capable of driving long-term impact at scale.

Recognition: We are a 2023 Audacious Project recipient, with our work featured in publications like Harvard Public Health , Bloomberg , and MedPage Today .

We welcome individuals who are driven by impact and scale to join us in making equitable contraceptive access a reality for all.

Position Summary

Upstream's Data, Analytics and Technology (DAT) team works cross-functionally to ensure software, hardware, and data function optimally while leading improvement projects that shape the business and promote organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and data-driven decision making. The team also supports Upstream's growing, organization-wide use of AI.

This role exists to expand the team's capacity to deliver. Reporting to the Manager of Data, Analytics, Technology & Security, the Sr. Analyst, Technology & Project Management partners closely with the DAT leadership team and colleagues across Upstream to own and move forward the work that keeps initiatives shipping: project management, data analysis and reporting, and the hands-on execution in between the planning and the doing, and adds a versatile, technically capable partner who can both plan the work and do it.

The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, highly organized, and exceptional communicator who is as comfortable running a stakeholder meeting as building a report or completing a project. They are curious, detail-oriented, and energized by turning ambiguous needs into finished work in a fast-moving, lean environment.

Serve as a resource for turning data into decisions across teams.

Automation, Tooling & Process Improvement (25%)

Build and improve MVP (Minimum Viable Product) workflow automations and solutions that remove manual work across teams, then iterate based on real use and feedback.

Translate staff pain points and ideas into documented, repeatable, right-sized workflows. Train others so improvements stick and scale.

Drive initiatives to completion, often coordinating and contributing directly to the work.

Systems, AI Adoption & Operations Support (15%)

Support software and hardware administration and asset lifecycle management (SaaS apps, laptops, office tech) and coordination with third-party technology vendors.

Support Upstream's AI adoption efforts with hands-on help on pilots, education and training, documentation, and change management.

Support selection, implementation, and administration across Upstream's SaaS application stack (Google Workspace, Snowflake, Power BI, Vena, ADP, Greenhouse, and others)

Help improve and, where possible, automate helpdesk and support functions; monitor and elevate recurring issues, propose, and help implement process enhancements.

Additional duties as assigned.
