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.
As our HR Coordinator, you’ll be a critical partner to both HR and Talent Acquisition, helping ensure everything runs smoothly — from welcoming new hires to keeping our HR operations organized and responsive.
You’ll thrive here if you:
- Love being the go-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.
What You'll Do
Onboarding & Employee Experience
- Own onboarding logistics, including HR orientation, system entry, and new hire setup

Talent Acquisition & Hiring Support
- Coordinate interview scheduling and support recruiting logistics

- Assist with various Talent Acquisition coordination efforts as hiring needs evolve
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 For
We’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
- Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
- 1–3 years of internship or professional experience in Human Resources, or professional experience providing administrative support
- Experience with HR systems (UKG/UltiPro preferred) is a plus
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and SharePoint
- Strong problem-solving, organizational, and interpersonal skills
- Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion
Recent graduates with relevant internships are encouraged to apply — especially if you’re excited about building a career in HR!
