Paralegal

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. 

The Office of the General Counsel provides strategic legal support that promotes the effective stewardship of Altarum’s resources. It helps the organization assess, plan for, and mitigate financial and operational risk to protect its long-term financial health and flexibility.

In this role, you’ll work closely with the General Counsel to support contracts and procurement, corporate governance and Board operations, records and regulatory compliance, and the corporate insurance program. You’ll review agreements, conduct legal research, coordinate Board activities, maintain corporate records and licenses, and help keep our policies and compliance programs current.

This is a great fit if you’re an experienced paralegal with at least five years of experience who enjoys variety, takes ownership of detail-oriented work, and handles confidential information with discretion. Experience in some of these areas is preferred, but you don’t need experience in all of them. We’re willing to train as needed.

In this role, your work will help safeguard Altarum’s resources, strengthen its governance, and support the teams that deliver on our mission. You’ll join a collaborative environment that values integrity, attention to detail, and practical problem-solving.
