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.
AlphaGov is building a bench of executive recruiters who lead superintendent searches for K-12 school districts and boards of education. You would guide boards through a transparent, community-informed search, from the leadership profile through final selection and transition.

Facilitate board planning sessions and set the search process and timeline
Run stakeholder engagement, including staff, parent, student, and community surveys, forums, and focus groups, to build the leadership profile

Source, recruit, and screen candidates, including diverse and nontraditional candidates
Conduct reference, background, credential, and media checks
Prepare interview questions and support board interviews, finalist visits, and deliberations
Support contract negotiation and transition planning for the new superintendent
Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when you authorize naming
Apply to be considered.
Requirements
Required
At least 5 years leading or co-leading superintendent or senior K-12 executive searches for school boards
A record of completed placements, with references from board chairs or district leaders
