Pricing Analyst

About the role

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. As a Pricing Analyst on our Corporate Finance team, you'll bring together two closely connected parts of our business: helping win new work by supporting proposal pricing, and helping deliver on our current commitments by managing program-level finances across a portfolio of federally funded contracts and grants. You'll partner directly with Project Directors and Program/Contract Managers on budgeting and forecasting, and you'll provide matrixed support to Altarum's Corporate Program Management Office (PMO) — contributing cross-program financial analysis, dashboards, and status reporting. If you're a finance professional with a few years of experience looking to build deep expertise in government contract and nonprofit program finance, this role offers a strong foundation within a mission-driven organization.
