Altana is the world’s first Value Chain Management System, a collaborative, public-private network that enables customers to take command of their extended supplier and distribution networks from raw material origins to the sale of finished products. By applying artificial intelligence to the world’s largest body of supply chain data, Altana reveals these previously opaque global networks and powers workflows across them. Customers like Boston Scientific, L.L.Bean, Maersk, US Customs and Border Protection, and the UK Department of Business and Trade use Altana to build secure, resilient, efficient, and sustainable global value chains.

We have built a fundamental understanding of how the world’s economy works, and the implications for global resiliency, sustainability and opportunity are enormous. Backed by leading investors and used by the world’s most important organizations, Altana’s mission is to power a new era of globalization organized around trusted value chain networks.

This is a lofty mission, and our success depends on building a diverse, global team and creating an environment in which they can thrive. We operate in accordance with our values: we embrace reality as we work to change it; we focus on value creation, not capture; we foster diversity and embrace difference; and, we go on offense. When you join Altana, you’ll be joining a vibrant, collaborative team working together to solve complex problems with the potential for global societal impact.

The Opportunity at Altana

The Product team is looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the product and design efforts for a collaborative system of engagement. You’ll be responsible for working closely with a diverse set of clients, coordinating with our commercial and marketing teams, incorporating company and executive vision, and collaborating with engineering to synthesize a cohesive product experience and execution plan that drives results. Some key product surface areas under your stewardship include:

Visibility - search, network analysis, and customer data foundation: You’ll deliver a system for exploring and connecting to a shared knowledge graph of the global supply chain.The Atlas serves as a common operating picture for users across the public and private sectors. The product enables users to find and analyze hundreds of millions of companies, their B2B relationships and activities, and extended networks through advanced search, network analysis, and graph exploration tools. The fusion, modeling, verification/refinement, and visualization of customer data within the global supply chain network is central to situating each of our customers in the common operating picture with other users.
AI-driven insights and decision support: You’ll apply the latest artificial intelligence technologies to a massive, globally-unique dataset in combination with customer data. Through models, Altana-generated analytics, and third party analytics overlaid on the supply chain graph, you’ll deliver tailored intelligence across compliance, environmental impacts, sourcing and procurement, security, and business continuity dimensions for a range of users working off of a shared source of truth. You’ll design user interactions that drive model learning loops and compound the intelligence available to users across our platform. Ultimately, you’ll drive decision making with real-world mission impact.
Collaborative workflows to take action: You’ll build a user network effect through collaborative workflows that enable users to take action across silos - internally and externally. We connect our users into a supply chain common operating picture with shared intelligence, and deliver collaborative workflows that enable them to take action on that visibility and intelligence, helping them to manage and govern their global, multi-tier value chain networks.
