ABOUT US

Altana has built the only live map of the global supply chain – the Altana Atlas – using AI and machine learning models to fuse massive sets of public and private data to map the supply chain all the way “to the soil.” Through the Atlas, companies and governments can understand the distant origins of products well beyond their own direct suppliers; discover trading relationships deep in their networks; measure labor and environmental impacts; identify related risks and opportunities; ensure effective compliance and enforcement with trade requirements; and collaborate to manage all of it. We have built a fundamental understanding of how the world’s economy works through AI, and the implications for global resiliency, sustainability and opportunity are enormous.

We are thrilled to be hiring our first VP, Product Marketing who will be responsible for designing, building, and implementing Altana’s product positioning and GTM strategy, under the direction of our CMO.  You’ll be joining a small, nimble, and highly talented Marketing team with the opportunity to build a full-scale marketing organization. If you care about solving complex problems with the potential for enormous societal impact, if you like to explain those problems and solutions in creative, accessible, and relatable ways, and if you’re excited about building a world-changing (and category-creating) organization from the ground up, this is the job for you.
