About the Role

Engagement Type - Full time, fully remote consultant; ~6 - 24 month engagement

Nearmap's Roof & Exterior Measurements (REM) program delivers aerial property measurement outputs-roof geometry, wall dimensions, window/door counts and measurement, and material classification-to insurance carriers, restoration contractors, and estimating platforms. As we scale toward broader carrier and commercial deployment, we are seeking a seasoned industry practitioner to serve as a full-time Subject Matter Expert (SME) Consultant embedded within the REM product team.

This role is a critical bridge between deep industry knowledge and product execution. The SME Consultant will inform us how we define measurement standards, evaluate output quality, shape process flows, and position our capabilities relative to the market.

The REM program is in active commercial scale-up, with a rapidly growing pipeline of major carrier and platform partnerships. This role will be embedded within a dedicated REM pod structure alongside Product Managers, Engineering, QA, and an Operations Lead — focused on delivering high-quality, carrier-grade measurement outputs at scale.

The SME Consultant will have direct and ongoing access to the VP of Product, program leadership, and carrier stakeholders. This is a high-impact role with significant influence over product direction, quality standards, and market positioning at a critical stage of program growth.
