About The Position

This is an independent contractor consulting engagement. Compensation is $200 per hour, up to $600 per month and $1,800 over the 3-month engagement. Selected panelists will sign consulting and confidentiality agreements. Consultants will not be asked to adopt or pilot a product, refer business to Bankrate, or change how they work. They must not share borrower names or personal details.
