## Description

AlphaGov delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, economic and workforce analysis, surveys and community research, and applied data and infrastructure research.

We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with occasional client travel. When you authorize it, AlphaGov may name you as an expert collaborator or key personnel on proposals that match your expertise. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.

What you'll do:

-   Design and lead process, outcome, and impact evaluations for state and local human-services, behavioral-health, justice, and family-support programs
-   Build logic models, theories of change, performance measures, and evaluation plans agencies can defend to funders and oversight bodies
-   Analyze administrative, case-management, and survey data; report outcomes boards and program leaders can use
-   Conduct key-informant interviews, site visits, and structured document review as the design requires
-   Translate findings into actionable recommendations and clear limitations language
-   Support AlphaGov proposals with evaluation methods, roles, and past-performance narrative when naming is authorized
-   Coordinate with workforce-evaluation and survey SMEs when scopes cross program types
-   Keep engagement project-based and contingent on award / staffing need — not speculative bench staffing

## Requirements

Required

-   Seven or more years program evaluation, applied social science, public policy, or outcomes research for government or public consulting
-   Direct evaluation experience on state/local human services, behavioral health, justice, fatherhood/family, or related public programs
-   Ability to produce logic models, evaluation frameworks, and performance measures
-   Strong mixed-methods design, writing, and presentation skills for non-technical audiences
-   Comfortable as a project-based collaborator; remote US with occasional travel

Nice to have

-   Behavioral health, criminal justice, child welfare, or fatherhood/family program evaluation and past performance

-   Familiarity with state audit/oversight reporting or federally funded social-program evaluation standards

-   Survey and qualitative protocol design that pairs with administrative-data analysis

-   Prior named key-personnel role on public-sector evaluation proposals
