Labor Market Information / Skills-Gap Study Lead (Public Sector)

About this role

AlphaGov is seeking a Labor Market Information / Skills-Gap Study Lead for project-based analytic engagements with workforce boards, state workforce agencies, regional councils, and related public employers.

You will design and deliver discrete labor-market, skills-gap, occupational-demand, and workforce-risk studies — producing decision-ready findings for public clients. This is analytic consulting (methods + applied interpretation), not job placement, training delivery, or staff augmentation.

What you'll do

• Design LMI / skills-gap study scopes, data plans, and analytic frameworks
• Analyze occupational demand, supply, wages, credentials, and regional workforce risk using public and administrative data
• Translate findings into employer- and policy-relevant recommendations
• Produce clear written reports, briefings, and optional board/WDB presentations
• Partner with AlphaGov evaluation SMEs when program-impact questions overlap
• Contribute methods appendices and technical narrative to AlphaGov proposals

Requirements

• Required:
• - 5+ years labor-market analysis, workforce research, regional economics, or related public-sector analytic work
• -
• Demonstrated experience delivering skills-gap, occupational, or LMI studies for a WDB, state agency, regional council, or comparable public client
• -
• Strong quantitative methods literacy and plain-language writing
• -
• Ability to cite concrete past public projects (agency, role, year)

Nice to have

• WIOA/WDB familiarity
• Python/R/Stata or advanced Excel
• Prior consulting/subconsulting
• Experience pairing with program evaluators
