Why this grade
This listing scored 54/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Data Science Senior Full Time
AlphaGov is seeking a Public-Sector Data Science & Analytics Lead for project-based engagements with cities, counties, state agencies, transit/utility authorities, school systems, and related public employers.
You will design and deliver forecasting, data-quality, performance-measurement, and analytics-implementation work that produces decision-ready products for government clients. This is applied analytics consulting — not staff-augmentation coding, pure academic research, or product SaaS sales.
What you'll do:
- Lead or co-lead public-sector analytics engagements (forecasting, performance measurement, data quality, dashboard/implementation support)
- Frame analytic questions with domain experts and translate findings for executives and elected/appointed stakeholders
- Build reproducible analyses using administrative and public datasets; document methods and limitations
- Advise on data governance, quality controls, and sustainable handoff to agency staff
- Contribute technical write-ups, scopes, and proposal content for AlphaGov pursuits
- Coordinate with evaluation, LMI/workforce, and operations SMEs when scopes overlap
Requirements
- Required:
5+ years applied data science, analytics, or quantitative public-policy work (government, public consulting, or research-to-practice)
Demonstrated delivery of at least two public-sector or quasi-public analytic products (agency, your role, year)
Strong statistical literacy and clear writing for non-technical audiences
Ability to work project-based with AlphaGov as a named collaborator on proposals when permissioned
Nice to have:
Python and/or R plus modern BI (Power BI, Tableau, Looker)
Experience with government administrative data, privacy, or IRB-adjacent constraints
Transit, utility, workforce, or education analytics
Cloud data-warehouse familiarity (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift)
