HRIS and Payroll Systems Consultant

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a 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.
This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.
AlphaGov is seeking an HRIS and Payroll Systems Consultant for remote, project-based work with public agencies. There is no guaranteed assignment.
What you'll do:
Support HRIS and payroll-system pursuits and, when awarded, the related implementation or assessment work
Review agency HR, time, payroll, and position-control processes against the system being proposed
Plan configuration, parallel payroll testing, and conversion of employee and position data
Identify integrations with finance, timekeeping, and retirement or benefits vendors
Contribute system qualifications and past-performance narrative to proposals only when naming is authorized
Support agency payroll parallel runs and go-live readiness
Separate what you have implemented from what you have only advised on
Apply to be considered.
