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 believe that community-based organizations are essential partners in building healthier, more equitable systems of care. As a Technical Assistance and Evaluation Specialist, you'll work directly with community-based organizations (CBOs) to strengthen their capacity — while also helping ensure that the support we provide is grounded in real evidence of what works. Your work will help translate front-line experience into stronger tools, and stronger data into better technical assistance.

About The Role

This is a hybrid role that combines two closely connected responsibilities: delivering hands-on technical assistance to a caseload of CBOs, and supporting the data collection, evaluation, and continuous quality improvement work of the TTA Center.

You'll provide 1:1 technical assistance and Learning Collaborative coaching to your CBO caseload, while also helping design, collect, and analyze performance and outcome data across the Center's technical assistance modalities — including the TA Hub, webinars, and Learning Collaboratives. You're well-positioned to bring both relational, community-facing skills and methodological rigor to this work.

This role is based primarily at the San Diego TTA Center, and the CBO caseload and evaluation responsibilities described below reflect that primary assignment. Like most staff on this team, you'll also carry other projects within Altarum's broader behavioral health portfolio as an ongoing part of your regular workload, so comfort moving fluidly across a mixed portfolio of assignments is important.

What You'll Do

What You'll Bring

Why Join Our Team

At Altarum, you'll be part of a team where front-line relationships and rigorous evaluation inform each other — your work with CBOs will directly shape the data we collect, and the insights from that data will directly shape how we support CBOs going forward. You'll help strengthen historically underserved communities' access to behavioral health resources while contributing to a broader portfolio of work across Altarum's behavioral health projects.

Where You'll Work

This role will be primarily remote, but requires occasional/as-needed travel to community-based organizations in San Diego

Remote with occasional in-person collaboration days

If you’re near one of our offices (Silver Spring, MD; or Novi, MI), you’ll be Hybrid and will join us in person one day every other month (6 times per year) for a fun, purpose-driven Collaboration Day. These days are filled with creative energy, meaningful connection, and team brainstorming.

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