Product Expert, PLM and ERP

About the role

Altana is the network for trusted trade. Our AI-powered product network empowers governments and businesses to build a more resilient and secure global economy while keeping trade flowing.

The Role: Product Expert PLM and ERP

Altana's mission is to fix globalization. At the heart of that mission is a problem most enterprises know intimately but haven't been able to solve: the systems that define, source, build, and ship products don't talk to each other — and the cracks between them are where compliance breaks down, duties are miscalculated, and supply chain risk hides in plain sight.

What You'll Do

• Reimagine the Product Data Lifecycle
• Close the Gap Between Product and Trade
• Turn Systems Expertise into Product Requirements
• Build Collaboratively with AI
• Partner Across the Ecosystem

Who You Are

• You know these systems from the inside.
• You understand the full product-to-shipment data chain.
• You're a systems thinker.
• You're tech-enabled and AI-curious.
• You communicate with clarity and conviction.
• You're a builder, not just an advisor.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience with PLM and/or ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Teamcenter, Windchill, Arena, or equivalent) in a manufacturing, sourcing, or trade compliance context.
• Deep familiarity with bill of materials structures — multi-level, configurable, and as-built variants — and how they are created, maintained, and consumed across the product lifecycle.
• Working knowledge of how product data flows into commercial documents: commercial invoices, packing lists, advance ship notices, and customs entries.
• Experience with the PLM-ERP integration layer — item master synchronization, BOM transfer, ECO/ECN workflows, and the failure modes that emerge at each handoff.
• Familiarity with trade compliance data requirements and how traditional PLM and ERP systems breakdown when interacting with fright and customs.
• Experience with data modeling, integration architecture, or enterprise system implementation is a strong plus.
• Prior product management, business analysis, or enterprise technology strategy experience is a strong plus — but domain depth is the priority.
