Hiring: Product Expert, PLM and ERP Company: Altana Location: Brooklyn, NY Job Posted Time: 2026-09-10 13:48:58 Employment Type: Full-time / Remote Target Skills & Keywords : API Design, Business Analysis, Machine Learning, Product Lifecycle Management, Product Management, Product Strategy, SAP About the job Experience: •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 Required Skills: •Reimagine the Product Data Lifecycle •Own the product vision for how Altana's Product Passports serve as the connective tissue between PLM, ERP, and trade compliance systems — replacing the fragmented, snapshot-in-time data handoffs that define enterprise product data today. •Define how the as-designed, as-sourced, and as-built views of a bill of materials are reconciled and maintained over time — and what it means for trade compliance when they diverge. •Design the workflows that allow enterprises to propagate product changes — new suppliers, substitute components, revised country-of-origin determinations — continuously across their commercial documents, classifications, and regulatory filings. •Close the Gap Between Product and Trade •Own the product vision for how structured product data flows from a SKU definition through a commercial invoice, advance ship notice, and customs entry — automatically, accurately, and with full audit trail. •Identify where manual, error-prone processes (data re-entry between systems, BOM-to-invoice reconciliation, HTS classification at the line-item level) can be automated, validated, or eliminated entirely through a well-modeled product identity. •Build the case — with data, customer evidence, and working prototypes — for prioritizing the integrations and automations that unlock the most compliance value. Qualifications: •You know these systems from the inside. •You understand the full product-to-shipment data chain. •You don't just know the configurations — you understand why the architecture works the way it does, where the seams fail under real-world conditions, and what a genuinely better version would look like. You're frustrated by friction that has been normalized and energized by the opportunity to fix it at scale. •You communicate with clarity and conviction. •You can explain a BOM reconciliation problem to an engineer who has never worked in manufacturing, and explain a data integration architecture to a trade compliance officer who has never opened an API spec. You write clearly, prototype quickly, and bring people along. •You're a builder, not just an advisor. •You're ready to move from identifying problems to owning their solution. You want your fingerprints on a product that changes how enterprises connect their internal systems to the demands of global trade — not just a deck that describes it. •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 •Solid functional working knowledge of how product data flows into commercial documents: commercial invoices, packing lists, advance ship notices, and customs entries Compensation: •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) •Competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Altana's total compensation package Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
