About Upsolve
Upsolve is a tech-driven nonprofit on a mission to help low-income Americans break cycles of debt and build financial stability. Founded in 2016 out of Harvard Law School's Access to Justice Lab, Upsolve has grown into the nation's most visited nonprofit financial education site. Each year, 3 million people rely on Upsolve.org for clear, trustworthy guidance on debt and credit. To date, we have helped relieve low-income families from over $1 billion in debt. Our work is supported by leading funders including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Robin Hood Foundation, OpenAI Philanthropy, and the Legal Services Corporation.
About the Role
Upsolve is looking for a curious, mission-driven content generalist to help shape how millions of Americans find and engage with financial education online.
This role blends content, strategy, and growth. You'll own and improve a library of financial education content (keeping it accurate, user-focused, and discoverable), experiment with new ways to reach people in a rapidly changing search landscape, and collaborate closely with our Data and Growth team to make smart, evidence-based decisions about what to write and what to improve.
You'll also manage a small team of freelance writers and editors and contribute to email marketing campaigns, all while helping us rethink what content looks like in an AI-first world.
This is a rare opportunity to do meaningful, visible work at a nationally recognized nonprofit that is growing fast. If you like ownership, fast learning, and meaningful impact, you’ll thrive here!

- Genuine excitement about Upsolve's mission
- Comfort working with data, or eagerness to learn
- Curiosity about SEO and how people discover content daily
- Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a remote, fast-moving environment
- A generalist mindset — you like learning across functions
Nice to Have
- Experience with or interest in personal finance, debt, or financial education
- Experience email marketing or drip campaign strategy
