suspend a *background* running job

Is there a way to suspend (TSTP?) a job that is running in the background, _without_ first bringing it to the foreground and inputting Ctrl-Z from the keyboard?

IOW, something similar to issuing the shell's bg builtin command on a job ID to resume a job that is suspended in the background, except here we want to _suspend_ a job that is already running in the background.

Cheers
