About the team/role
In an AI-driven world, distinguishing real from fake is increasingly challenging. AI has made it easy to forge credentials, impersonate individuals, and submit job applications at scale using synthetic identities. More than a third of remote applicants are fake, and Fortune 500 companies experienced a significant rise in hires from state-sponsored fraudulent actors last year. AI has turned the hiring funnel from a protective filter into an open gateway for bad actors. Checkr is building the identity layer for hiring to address this threat.
As the leader of Checkr's Hiring Fraud solutions, you will set a new standard for trust in hiring by creating a system that validates identity seamlessly and frictionlessly. You will develop best-in-class capabilities that prevent fraud during all phases of the hiring process, to safeguard organizations while improving the experience for legitimate, qualified candidates. You will collaborate closely with engineering and operations teams to ship market-leading products that are intuitive and easy to use.
What you’ll do
• Own the strategy and roadmap for all Identity Risk & Hiring Fraud Solutions, including dashboard products, APIs, and pre-built partner integrations.
• Conduct market analysis to identify high-impact opportunities for your products. This includes competitive research, engaging with industry analysts to understand market trends, and working directly with strategic customers to anticipate their evolving needs.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration across Checkr. Partner with Product Marketing to shape effective go-to-market strategies. Work with other product teams to enable seamless product integrations. Align with Business Development to embed your solutions within partner applications.
• Build and prioritize a multi-release feature roadmap.
• Champion the customer by being the voice of strategic customers and build meaningful, personal relationships with them.
• Measure product success and impact, and identify opportunities for expansion.
• Represent Checkr as a product expert in customer meetings, industry events, and through community platforms and social media.
What you bring
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field preferred
• 7+ years of product management experience building risk, fraud prevention, and identity verification products, including identity proofing, document verification, biometrics, and hiring-fraud signals
• Strong expertise in fraud detection frameworks and modeling, including threat modeling, risk scoring, anomaly detection, identity spoofing detection, and data-driven decision-making
• Deep understanding of recruiting ecosystems, including ATS systems, recruiting workflows, and hiring compliance requirements
• Proven ability to build scalable, extensible platforms that address evolving fraud threats rather than one-off solutions
• Strong cross-functional leadership and influence, partnering with engineering, operations, legal, and sales without direct authority
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
