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 IT Systems IV&V Specialist to support independent verification and validation, IT advisory, and assessment work for a statewide public-agency technology vehicle — covering quality assurance for systems implementations, readiness assessments, and independent findings for agency leadership.

What you'll do:

• Plan and execute independent verification and validation activities for public-agency IT systems and implementations
• Assess solution readiness, requirements traceability, test coverage, and go-live risk
• Produce clear IV&V findings, risk registers, and client-ready recommendations
• Advise on IT advisory / assessment workstreams adjacent to IV&V (architecture review, implementation oversight)
• Contribute IV&V qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned

Required:

• Hands-on IT systems verification and validation (IV&V) or independent quality-assurance experience
• Public-sector, higher-education, or large-enterprise systems implementation background
• Comfortable as a 1099 / project-based collaborator with travel as needed for client on-sites

Nice to have:

• Statewide or multi-agency IV&V / PMO oversight experience
• Familiarity with IEEE / ISO IV&V practices or equivalent public-agency QA frameworks
• Prior Arizona or Southwest state-agency IT consulting
