> AlphaHire · United States (Remote) · Contract · Posted 2026-10-03

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a 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.  
  
This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.  
  
AlphaGov is seeking experienced municipal human resources leaders in New England to provide interim HR director services and HR technical assistance to towns and cities. Engagements combine hands-on HR operations with HR function assessments and policy updates, and they often call for regular on-site days at town hall.  
  
What you'll do:  
\- Serve as interim HR lead: HR administration, employee and labor relations, leave and accommodation, recruitment and onboarding  
\- Advise town managers, department heads, and supervisors on personnel matters, discipline, and performance management  
\- Administer collective bargaining agreements and support public-sector labor relations  
\- Assess HR functions, update personnel policies, procedures, and forms, and deliver supervisor training  
\- Support the recruitment of permanent HR leaders and hand off knowledge at transition  
\- Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned
