The job commands in PowerShell provide a means of executing code asynchronously by creating a new PowerShell process for each job.
As each job executes within a new process, data cannot be shared between jobs. Any required modules, functions, or variables all need to be imported into each job.

PowerShell provides a number of commands to create and interact with jobs. In addition to the following commands, Invoke-Command with the AsJob parameter might be used when acting against remote systems.
