The job, in the employer's words
Remote — United States | Public Sector Consulting
AlphaGov is seeking an experienced government business development professional to build agency relationships, originate consulting opportunities, and develop teaming partnerships.
You’ll work directly with our Managing Partner, supported by a dedicated proposal team and a multidisciplinary subject-matter expert network. Your focus will be identifying agency needs, opening doors before solicitations are released, and developing qualified opportunities aligned with AlphaGov’s expertise.
We are primarily seeking independent contractors interested in commission-based compensation. W-2 employment may be considered for highly qualified candidates with a demonstrated record of winning relevant government business.
About AlphaGov
AlphaGov helps government and public-sector organizations make informed decisions about their workforce, operations, programs, and investments.
Our services include:
- Workforce planning, workforce intelligence, and labor market analysis.
- Classification and compensation studies.
- Organizational assessments and operational improvement.
- Economic development and infrastructure workforce advisory.
- Research, surveys, and program evaluation.
- Government executive search.
We pursue opportunities with cities, counties, state and federal agencies, workforce boards, utilities, transportation authorities, school systems, and special districts.
What You’ll Do
- Originate and qualify government consulting opportunities aligned with AlphaGov’s services.
- Build relationships with agency leaders, program managers, HR executives, and procurement teams.
- Identify upcoming needs through agency priorities, procurement forecasts, direct outreach, and industry events.
- Develop teaming and subcontracting relationships with government contractors and consulting firms.
- Support bid/no-bid decisions and capture planning with buyer insights, competitive intelligence, and positioning recommendations.
- Coordinate with our proposal team on sources-sought notices, requests for information, and competitive solicitations.
- Maintain clear opportunity records, anticipated procurement timelines, and next steps.
- Follow applicable procurement communication rules and AlphaGov’s opportunity approval process.
Success means developing relationships and qualified pursuits that lead to business—not simply forwarding public RFP listings.

- Strong communication, relationship development, and opportunity qualification skills.
- Ability to explain your personal contribution to previous pursuits and their outcomes.
- Ability to develop a pipeline independently and maintain momentum through lengthy procurement cycles.
