Job Description

At Altarum, we work at the intersection of strategy, health impact, and innovation. We help public sector and health-focused organizations solve complex challenges that improve lives and strengthen communities.

We’re looking for a highly organized, analytical, and proactive Capture Analyst to help strengthen how we identify, prepare for, and pursue strategic business development opportunities.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity, supporting cross-functional teams, conducting research, and helping important opportunities move forward before the proposal stage begins.

About the Role

As a Capture Analyst, you’ll support the operational backbone of Altarum’s capture efforts across multiple divisions. You’ll help coordinate workflows, conduct market and competitive research, maintain capture documentation and CRM data, support pipeline visibility, and keep teams organized throughout the opportunity lifecycle.

This role is focused primarily on the pre-RFP stage, the work that happens before a request for proposals is released and before proposal writing begins. You’ll help teams better understand upcoming opportunities, prepare earlier, track key actions, and make more informed pursuit decisions.

This is not a traditional sales role or capture ownership role Instead, it is a high-impact c oordination, intelligence, and enablement position for someone energized by research, organization, process improvement, and mission-driven growth.

What You'll Do

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is organized, curious, collaborative, and comfortable helping teams move complex opportunities forward. This role is a strong fit for someone who has supported capture, business development, proposal, or pursuit activities and enjoys the operational side of growth: research, coordination, CRM hygiene, action tracking, and process improvement.
You may be a strong fit if you have:

• Non-local employees will join these days virtually and may be asked to join us occasionally in-person.

Why Join Altarum?

At Altarum, your work contributes to meaningful impact across healthcare, public health, and human services. You’ll join a collaborative, mission-driven organization where thoughtful problem-solving, innovation, and continuous improvement are valued.

In this role, you’ll help strengthen how Altarum identifies and prepares for opportunities that support healthier communities and better public systems.
