About The Position
AlphaGov is seeking a Public Safety / Sworn Compensation & Classification Specialist for project-based engagements supporting municipal and county studies that include police, fire, EMS/paramedic, and related public-safety pay plans. You will lead or co-lead the sworn/public-safety portions of classification and compensation studies — peer selection for public-safety markets, rank/step analysis, specialty pay, FLSA public-safety considerations, and compression between sworn and civilian structures. This role pairs with civilian class/comp leads on mid-to-large city studies.
Requirements
- 5+ years public-safety compensation, classification, or municipal HR work covering police and/or fire pay plans
- Direct experience on at least one completed study or major pay-plan redesign involving sworn employees
- Strong analytical and writing skills; ability to explain findings to non-HR leaders
- Ability to cite concrete past government projects (agency, role, year)
Nice To Haves
- Both police and fire experience
- Paramedic/EMS schedules
- Collective bargaining familiarity (analysis only — not labor negotiation)
- Southeast municipal experience
Responsibilities
- Lead sworn/public-safety class/comp analysis (police, fire, EMS/paramedic)
- Design public-safety peer sets and market surveys
