At Altarum, we’re driven by a simple but powerful mission: improving the health of individuals with fewer financial resources and populations underserved by the healthcare system. We partner with federal and state agencies to design and deliver solutions that make a real, measurable difference.

We’re a small but mighty HR team that plays a big role in supporting our people and our mission — and we’re looking for someone who’s excited to jump in, contribute, and grow with us!

About the Role

This is not your typical “behind-the-scenes” coordinator role.

You’ll thrive here if you:

Love being thego-to support person
Take pride in being responsive, reliable, and detail-oriented
Enjoy juggling multiple priorities and keeping things moving
Are energized by helping others and making processes better

This role is perfect for someone who truly enjoys being in a high-impact coordination role — someone who is energized by helping others, staying organized, and keeping things running smoothly every day. There is room to grow on our team — but we’re looking for someone who truly enjoys and excels in the coordinator/support space today.

Team & Project Support

Act as a central support hub for HR projects — organizing, tracking, and helping drive progress
Assist with administrative tasks, purchasing, and general department coordination
Jump in wherever needed — we’re a small team, and we all roll up our sleeves

What We're Looking ForWe’re looking for someone who brings both strong execution skills and a proactive, service-oriented mindset:

Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
Strong sense of urgency and follow-through
Excellent communication and customer service mindset
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
Someone who takes pride in being dependable and responsive

What You'll Bring

Experience with HR systems (UKG/UltiPro preferred) is a plus
Proficiency in Microsoft Office and SharePoint

Why Join Our Team?

Be part of a collaborative, mission-driven organization
Work closely with a tight-knit HR team where your contributions matter
Gain hands-on experience across HR and Talent Acquisition
Opportunity for growth and development over time
