About The Position

The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is a research initiative of AlphaHire focused on applied workforce intelligence for the construction industry and built environment. WIL develops workforce intelligence systems focused on labor market visibility, workforce planning, compensation intelligence, labor scarcity analysis, workforce analytics, operational workforce interpretation, regional workforce intelligence, and construction labor market research. The initiative combines publicly available labor data, compensation trends, contractor growth indicators, workforce demand signals, and construction activity into operational workforce intelligence systems for construction firms and industry operators. We are seeking a Founding Director, Workforce Intelligence Research to help support and expand the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL). This is a part-time, strategic leadership role focused on helping build the operational and institutional foundation of WIL as the initiative grows. This role is not designed as a traditional academic position or recruiting role. Instead, the position focuses on helping build workforce intelligence infrastructure, fellowship coordination systems, publication processes, research collaboration, workforce intelligence methodology systems, institutional partnerships, and future grant and workforce initiative opportunities. The long-term goal of WIL is to support workforce intelligence systems, operational workforce planning, workforce visibility infrastructure, labor market interpretation, workforce intelligence publications, fellowship ecosystems, advisory collaboration, and future grant-supported workforce initiatives. The role is ideal for someone interested in helping shape an emerging workforce intelligence initiative focused on the built environment and construction industry.
