Product Director, Value Chain Management Compliance and ESG

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 our Value Chain Compliance Management System for private sector global enterprise customers. This role encompasses not only compliance with regulations around Forced Labor and Restricted Parties but also compliance with emerging ESG regulations such as deforestation (EUDR), carbon (CBAM), and more comprehensive sustainability directives such as CSRD and CS3D and beyond. 

Building on top of the backbone of Altana’s world class data asset and global Value Chain Management System, this leader will be empowered to work across a diverse set of clients to understand the full scope of their compliance needs and priorities and to leverage the Altana data and technology stack and network ecosystem to bring to market a suite of product offerings. 

This role encompasses three main directives: 

1. Customer-centric product line solutioning: You are building not a single standalone product offering but a suite of product offerings to support multiple customers for multiple regulations on top of a unified data and technology platform. You will be empowered to deeply understand the needs landscape as well as the competitive market and scope end-to-end solutions that include build, buy, partner assessments and recommendations. Your job is to deliver end-to-end solutions for our customers leveraging Altana’s core capabilities across data and value chain creation and build net new capabilities in value chain management for global compliance requirements for global enterprises.

 

1. Supported decision-making with AI-driven insights:  In order to deliver new value chain management capabilities you will collaborate with a world class Machine Learning team and the Director of Graph PM who are building and deploying models to run on top of the existing core data platform that stitches together Altana proprietary data and customer proprietary data into a bespoke global value chain for each customer. Your job will be to deliver tailored intelligence, such as prioritization of risks and opportunities by things like severity and business impact, across compliance and environmental requirements for a range of users working off of a shared source of truth. You’ll design user interactions that drive model learning loops and enable individual company decision making with real-world mission impact across the shared global network. 

 

1. Collaborative workflows to take action: Because individual value chains are specific to each customer but the global network of value chains is highly overlapping and connected, especially within and across similar and related industries, you will also partner with our Director of Collaboration PM to establish user network effect through collaborative workflows that enable users to take actions to resolve prioritized risks. These collaborative workflows will be tied directly to the suite of product offerings you are building for compliance with existing regulations such as Force Labor (UFLPA) and Restricted Parties and emerging ESG regulations such as deforestation (EUDR), carbon (CBAM), and more comprehensive sustainability directives such as CSRD and CS3D and beyond.
