About The Position

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: Principal Product Manager Supply Chain Intelligence When a new tariff hits, a regulation changes, or a geopolitical crisis reshapes supply chains, companies scramble to understand their exposure and what to do next. Supply chains are vast, opaque, and shaped by complex regulations. The data needed to act is scattered across systems and buried in value chains that span dozens of countries and hundreds of suppliers. Altana maps these supply chains into a global network, giving companies multi-tier visibility they've never had before. You will own turning that visibility into prioritized action for importers, logistics service providers, and compliance teams. Help users answer questions like: What's the impact of a new tariff on my business? How do I ensure my supply chain is free from forced labor? Where am I concentrated on a single supplier or region, and what's my contingency? This is the product that makes Altana's network intelligence indispensable. You'll define how customers explore and act on supply chain data across use cases: forced labor, critical minerals, foreign ownership, tariff exposure, and more. You'll design AI-native workflows, build generalizable analytical patterns, and create a bridge between insight and action. The role spans product strategy, complex data modeling, and modern AI.

Requirements

You’re a builder of data-intensive products for non-technical users
You've worked on products where the core challenge was making complex, high-dimensional data explorable and actionable for people who aren't analysts or engineers. You have real opinions about the right AI-patterns to surface meaningful insights to users.
You thrive in ambiguity
Altana is defining a new way of working in the trade space. The problems we solve are multi-dimensional, across technology, policy, and user experience. You find working on a complex problem space with no clear right answer to be energizing.
You iterate quickly
You come from a startup where you owned problems end to end. You default to prototypes and not product specs. You're more interested in learning fast than being right the first time.
You think in AI-first patterns
You don't add AI to existing workflows. You design workflows differently because AI exists. You build and prototype with AI tools regularly. You have side projects that demonstrate this.
You communicate clearly
You can explain a data model to a compliance manager and a compliance workflow to an engineer. You write well. You bring people along without over-explaining.
You're excited to learn a new domain
Global trade is complex and consequential. You don't need to come from the domain, but you need to be the kind of person who gets energized by learning it deeply and building products that make it accessible.

Nice To Haves

8+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time at a high-growth, startup delivering hosted solutions to a wide variety of user personas
Track record of building data-intensive products: analytics platforms, business. intelligence tools, compliance or risk management software, or similar insight-driven solutions.
Demonstrated AI/ML product experience. You've shipped AI-powered features with measurable results that connect them to customer value. Bonus if you have ML product management experience.
Strong prototyping skills. Comfortable using AI tools, design tools, or code to rapidly test ideas before production investment. Experience using tools to accelerate product development velocity and increase value delivered to customers.
Technical degree (CS, engineering, or quantitative discipline) is a plus
Familiarity with global trade, supply chain, customs, or regulatory compliance is a meaningful plus, but a fast learner with the right product instincts matters more than domain tenure.

Responsibilities

Partner Deeply with Customers
Engage directly with supply chain managers, importers, brokers, and logistics service providers. Understand how they triage, prioritize, and act on supply chain risks today, where they go off-platform, and where the value proposition needs to be sharper.
Make Complex Data Actionable
Own the product experience for how non-technical domain experts (trade compliance managers, risk analysts, procurement teams, customs brokers) explore and act on supply chain data.
Design AI-Native Workflows
Identify where AI transforms the experience: surfacing highest-priority items and acting, explaining why a risk matters, recommending next actions, generating compliance narratives, enabling natural-language data exploration. Prototype fast and iterate based on customer feedback. Bring in agentic workflows to drive customer value: agents that monitor supplier networks for changes, flag emerging risks, or draft remediation plans a user reviews rather than builds from scratch.
Connect the Workflow Across Surfaces
Define how supply chain intelligence connects to the broader Altana product ecosystem: opportunity identification, trade compliance workflows (classification, country of origin, duty calculation), scenario modeling, and supplier collaboration. Own the boundary between analysis and action. Make the transition from understanding a risk to resolving it seamless. Partner with PMs across the portfolio so insights flow into actions and users never re-enter context.
