Job 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 an Economic Impact Analyst to quantify industry, employment, fiscal, and regional effects for California cannabis and Washington cluster pursuits, with transparent methods and policy-ready findings for public-sector clients.

What you'll do:

• Design and execute economic-impact analyses using input-output, regional, fiscal, labor-market, or comparable methods
• Build reproducible models and document assumptions, data sources, limitations, and sensitivity scenarios
• Analyze direct, indirect, and induced effects including output, employment, wages, tax, and industry impacts
• Synthesize administrative, industry, labor, and market data into clear reports, exhibits, and presentations
• Contribute economic-impact qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned

Required:

• Hands-on economic-impact assessment, regional economics, I-O modeling, fiscal analysis, or related applied-economics experience
• Ability to produce reproducible methods, defensible assumptions, clear limitations, and policy-ready reports
• Comfortable as a 1099 / project-based collaborator with travel as needed for client on-sites

Nice to have:

• REMI, IMPLAN, RIMS II, or comparable modeling experience
• California cannabis, regulated-industry, Washington regional, or cluster-analysis experience
• Advanced degree in economics, public policy, regional science, or a related field
