Senior Product Manager, Verifications

Hiring decisions carry real consequences, for the safety of a workplace, the integrity of a workforce, and the trust employers place in the people they bring on. Employers today run verification checks across employment history, education, criminal records, driving records, and more, each with its own data sources, compliance requirements, and failure modes. As hiring volume grows, employers need verification products that are fast, accurate, and easy to trust, not a source of delay or risk. As Senior Product Manager for Checkr's Verifications products, you will own the strategy and roadmap for a core part of the background check experience. You will improve accuracy and speed for employers while reducing friction for candidates, strengthening trust in the hiring process at every step. You will work closely with Engineering, Operations, and GTM teams to ship market-leading verification products, using data and direct customer input to guide every decision.
