Job Description

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 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.

What You'll Do

Onboarding & Employee Experience

• Own onboarding logistics, including HR orientation, system entry, and new hire setup
• Manage onboarding schedules and ensure a seamless first-day experience
• Support employee recognition programs and engagement initiatives

HR Operations

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records and HR systems (HRIS)
• Support offboarding processes, including exit workflows and system updates
• Monitor and respond to the HR inbox, ensuring timely and helpful communication
• Run reports, analyze data, and support HR projects across the team
• Maintain HR SharePoint/intranet sites and internal resources

Talent Acquisition & Hiring Support

• Coordinate interview scheduling and support recruiting logistics
• Partner with the HR and TA team to ensure a smooth, positive candidate experience
• 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!
