Description supplied by the original job listing.
AlphaGov is seeking a Surveys & Community Research Methodologist for project-based engagements with cities, counties, school systems, transit agencies, and related public employers.
You will design and deliver resident surveys, stakeholder engagement research, and service-satisfaction studies — producing credible samples, instruments, analysis, and actionable findings. This is survey methodology and applied community research, not marketing polls, political canvassing, or pure facilitation/OD without research design.
What you'll do:
- Design survey sampling frames, instruments, and fielding plans for public clients
- Oversee or advise on mode strategy (web, mail, phone, intercept) and response-rate improvement
- Analyze survey data with appropriate weighting and uncertainty; write clear findings reports
- Support stakeholder engagement research that produces usable evidence for service design or policy
- Present results to boards, councils, and agency leadership
- Contribute survey/community-research technical content to AlphaGov proposals
Requirements
Required:
- 5+ years survey methodology, public opinion research, or community/stakeholder research (government, university survey center, or public consulting)
- Lead or senior role on at least two completed public-sector or community surveys (agency/client, your role, year)
- Strong questionnaire design and quantitative analysis skills
- Clear writing and presentation for non-technical audiences
Nice to have:
- AAPOR or similar survey credentials
- Experience with hard-to-reach or multilingual populations
- Mixed-methods (survey + focus groups/interviews)
- Transit rider, utility customer, or school-community survey experience
