We’re working for a regenerative world where the planet is treated as indisposable and communities thrive.
We invite you to create this future with us.
At Upstream, we believe in the power of inspirational invitation. We are conveners, initiators, and story-tellers working to catalyze and amplify solutions for the better world already being built. We foster a creative, proactive culture where a rich mix of talented people want to come, stay, connect as both colleagues and humans, and co-create a more joyful, just world every day.
As an organization, Upstream is unique in its singular focus on reuse, position as a thought leader, and access to a large network of stakeholders from the NGO, business, and government sectors. Given the distributed, small nature of our team and large geographic focus, we take a high level role and focus on serving the movement in a way that is impactful and scalable.
Community Engagement Officer
The Community Engagement Officer plays a central role in connecting Upstream to the broader reuse and environmental justice movement. This role runs the Reuse Solutions Network (RSN), manages shared online platforms, and supports policy and funding tracking across the team. Because the RSN sits at the intersection of policy, communications, strategic initiatives, and community, this role requires someone who can see across the full organization — not just execute within their lane — and who brings insights from external engagement back into Upstream's strategy in real time.
To keep our hiring process fair and consistent, we're asking everyone to direct their questions to our recruiting partner, Jaclyn Jones at NRG Consulting Group, rather than to Upstream staff.
Jaclyn can answer questions about the role, the process, and next steps. You can reach her at jaclyn@nrgconsultinggroup.org.
