Our internal product managers own the work, and we are seeking a senior practitioner from the background screening industry to collaborate with them as a domain expert and design partner for a part-time contract engagement. Your background can be operations, product, or compliance.\nWe value your judgment over output. Your role will be to help our product managers sharpen how they define problems, challenge assumptions that may seem reasonable but will not survive in real-world operations, and review their work with an operator's perspective. You will not own the roadmap, the backlog, or delivery, as those responsibilities belong to our product managers. This role has no direct reports.\nIf you have managed screening operations without holding a formal product title, you are exactly who we want to hear from. We have product managers, and we need insights from someone with firsthand operations experience.\nWork & Compensation Model:\nThis is a remote position open to qualified applicants throughout the United States. Join our team as an Independent Contractor (1099) in a flexible remote role. We are looking for candidates who can commit 10 to 15 hours per week, with some overlap during Pacific business hours. You'll collaborate with Fama's product managers and R&D leadership, contributing to exciting projects. Compensation is targeted (Part-Time): $6,000 - $9,000 / month for dedicated fractional strategic advisory at $150.00 per hour. The contract starts with an initial 90 days and can be extended by mutual agreement.\nThis position is an independent contractor role paid on a 1099 basis. Contractors are solely responsible for their own tax obligations, insurance, and benefits. The final rate will be determined based on specialized expertise, scope of deliverables, and relevant market rates.\nWhat you’ll do:\nCollaborate with our product managers as they define new product initiatives, providing candid feedback where needed.\n\nOffer an operator's viewpoint on how background screening processes function, highlighting areas of manual effort, delays, and real costs.\n\nIdentify compliance and workflow constraints that any design must respect.\n\nReview requirements, specifications, and prototypes as the industry expert.\n\nHelp us understand how screening firms and their customers evaluate and purchase new technology.\n\nWho you are:\nYou have significant experience in the background screening industry, making workflows, vocabulary, and economics second nature to you. A product management title is not required.\n\nHave owned or managed components of case fulfillment, review, escalation, or disputes, and you know where the system breaks down and what it costs.\n\nYou have close experience with the work, whether in a consumer reporting agency, a screening technology vendor, an applicant tracking system with a screening integration, or a large employer's screening operation.\n\nPossess practical knowledge of the regulatory landscape, particularly FCRA compliance as it relates to workflow, as well as state and local regulations. We do not seek legal advice, but rather insight into where rules impact processes.\n\nYou exhibit structured thinking, capable of breaking down complex operational realities into parts and articulating which aspects are most critical in writing. This skill is typically developed on an operations floor as well as in product organizations.\n\nHave a grounded perspective on AI product design. While you do not need to be technically inclined, you should approach demonstrations with a critical mindset.\n\nStrongly Preferred\nCurrent or recent experience at a background screening firm in operations leadership, product management, or compliance.\n\nDirect responsibility for a screening operations team or for quality assurance within one.\n\nA broad understanding of various screening check types, rather than an in-depth focus on just one.\n\nExperience in product management is a plus, but not a requirement.\n\nInvolvement with PBSA or a comparable industry organization.\n\nPrevious consulting or advisory experience, making a short engagement format familiar to you.\n\nCONFIDENTIALITY DISCLOSURE\nWe value industry-informed expertise and maintain strict policies to protect third-party intellectual property and candidate compliance.\nExisting Obligations: By applying, you confirm that participating in this engagement does not breach any valid non-disclosure, active non-solicitation, or contractual duties owed to your current or former employers.\n\nProprietary Information: You must rely solely on your general skill, industry knowledge, and expertise. Do not share, submit, or utilize any confidential documents, trade secrets, or proprietary materials belonging to any third party. Fama will immediately reject and terminate any engagement involving unauthorized confidential material.\n\nNo Customer Solicitation: We will not request or allow you to identify, introduce, or influence customers or clients of your current employer.\n\nConflict Transparency: Applicants must disclose any active advisory roles, board positions, equity holdings, or competing business activities during the application process.\n\nIntellectual Property & Confidentiality: A mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) will be executed prior to substantive project discussions. All work deliverables produced specifically within the scope of this contract will be the exclusive property of Fama.\n\nRemote first - Flexible work environment.\n\nOur flexible workplace comes with vacation days, sick days, volunteer time off, and paid parental leave.\n\nGreat Financial Incentives. competitive compensation packages, equity, and generous total rewards plans.\n\nEmployees can access Wellness Programs and more for FREE.\n\nWe believe that becoming an increasingly diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace makes us a more successful and resilient organization. We embrace equal opportunity for all applicants and seek to foster and preserve a culture of belonging for our employees. We recognize and appreciate that the more inclusive we are, the better we will function as a team. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital or family status, disability, military veteran status, and any other status or background.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6480,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Flexible schedule","Parental leave","Wellness"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["RegTech, AML & Compliance","B2B Company & Contact Data"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T00:05:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":69,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.772,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":40,"reasons":["conf:3","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":108000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fama-technologies-product-consultant-contract","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fama-technologies-product-consultant-contract.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T19:49:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26140,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":7802},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=7802"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffama-technologies-product-consultant-contract"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffama-technologies-product-consultant-contract"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffama-technologies-product-consultant-contract"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fama-technologies-product-consultant-contract\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffama-technologies-product-consultant-contract"}]}
