About Altana

Altana is the network for trusted trade, empowering a new era of global commerce by uniting businesses and governments on an AI-powered platform to build a more resilient and secure global supply chain. Enterprises like Boston Scientific, General Atomics, and L.L.Bean use Altana to map and manage their multi-tier value chains. Logistics leaders like UPS and Maersk use Altana to help customers reduce risk and prevent delays. And governments across the U.S. and its allies use Altana to prevent supply chain disruptions and protect national security.

We are a team of ambitious, mission-driven engineers, data scientists, and domain experts. If you are passionate about solving complex, real-world problems with global impact, we want you to join us.

The Role: Director of Product Management (Public Sector)

As a Director of Product Management for Public Sector, you will lead the team defining strategy/product vision through feature definition and roadmap prioritization. You and your team will work closely with marketing and finance teams for positioning, naming, GTM/adoption, and financial metrics. We are looking for an experienced product leader who is passionate about deeply understanding ambiguous customer problems, with demonstrated success working with engineering to deliver solutions, and translating them into disruptive, successful products that delight customers. As a Director of Product Management with a focus on Public Sector, you and your team are defining the link between our customers' efforts to improve enforcement efficiency and streamline the shipment of goods with the Altana product network.

Your team’s mission is to accelerate our customers' time-to-mission-outcome. You and your team will deeply understand customer IT, data, and security needs to architect and build robust, scalable products that help them solve their most pressing trade-related challenges. For government customers, law enforcement across global supply chains presents a daunting challenge. Your team’s mission is to make it easier for these customers to receive supply chain information and conduct continuous compliance monitoring, meeting the demands of the new trade environment. With Altana Product Passports, regulatory agencies can achieve faster approvals, fewer delays, and focus their enforcement efforts.

You and your team will own the end-to-end journey: from the moment a trusted business submits their Altana Product Passport, to AI-powered screening of transactions for risks, to government-to-business collaboration to investigate and clear risks in companies’ supply chains.

What You'll Do

As a key technical partner for the customer, your team’s responsibilities will fall into three primary areas:

• Partner Ecosystem and  Integration Strategy: Define and execute the roadmap for how the product passports interact with customs and other government systems. Identify the most critical systems our customers use and lead the development of configurable integrations that remove the need for custom engineering work.
• Streaming & Real-Time: Move us beyond static snapshots. Architect pipelines that support continuous data synchronization, ensuring the customer’s view of product supply chain information is always current.

Trade Facilitation

• Trusted Trader Programs: Help the customer implement and/or modernize their trusted trader programs. Shift them from paper-based audits to real-time, data-driven monitoring of supply chain compliance.
• Automated Validation: Build tools that automate the validation of HS Codes and Country of Origin claims, helping governments close the "Tax Gap" and prevent duty evasion without slowing down commerce.
• Streaming & Real-Time: You will own the suite of integration: high-volume REST APIs for trade facilitation, ensuring that the
