Job Information
Altana Technologies, Inc. Director of Product Management (Public Sector) in Washington, District Of Columbia
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 teams mission is toaccelerate 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 teams 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 teams responsibilities will fall into three primary areas:
Product Passports
- Product Passports (Government View):Define how governments consume and validate Altana Product Passports. You will build the "Pre-Clearance" infrastructure that allows trusted traders to submit supply chain visibility data in exchange for expedited treatment and reduced inspections.
- 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 and Real-Time:Move us beyond static snapshots. Architect pipelines that support continuous data synchronization, ensuring the customers 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 and Real-Time:You will own the suite of integration: high-volume REST APIs for trade facilitation, ensuring that the workflows and systems are compatible with the high volumes of global trade.
Trade Enforcement
- Network-Based Targeting:Move customs agencies beyond simple rule-matching (e.g., "Flag all goods from Country X"). Build AI-driven targeting products that analyze thenetworkidentifying shell companies, obfuscated ownership, and anomalous trade routes that indicate evasion or illicit trade.
- Enforcement Workflows:Design the "Investigator Workbench" used by officers to review and act on high-risk shipments. You will build the tools for evidenc gathering and reporting.
- Prescreening:Own the product logic for identifying risky shipments to prevent them from getting close to the border, let alone entering the country.
Who You Are
- Team Leader:You know how to lead and force-multiply teams to deliver on mission-critical software products for customers that work at the extreme scale that public sector customers need.
- Mission Alignment Expert:Youve worked directly with engineering teams to translate high-level government policy into concrete product features.
- UX-Centric Technicality:You understand the "plumbing" (APIs, EDI, ETL/ELT, JSON), but you are obsessed with the user experience. You hate clunky integration projects and strive to make user experiences feel like magic, working with your team and your design partners.
- Builder:Your team doesnt just write requirements; your team defines system interfaces of the solution alongside engineering. You and your team have the courage to roll up your sleeves and define API specs and data schemas, especially as it relates to the user experience.
