Director of Product Management, Public Sector

Own the Customs & Border Product Vision

• Own the product vision for how Altana is deployed to customs, border, and revenue authorities — meeting each agency where it is across varied geographies, legal regimes, sovereignty requirements, and levels of digital maturity.
• Unify our platform and architecture so a single core capability set can serve many governments while honoring each authority’s sovereign control over its own data and business logic.
• Shape how authorities collaborate — within an agency, across agencies, and with trusted trading partners abroad — to build safer, more efficient, and more collaborative trade workflows.
• Partner closely with Altana’s enterprise product areas so that what traders submit and what authorities receive tells one coherent, trusted story.

Pre-Clear Goods Before They Arrive — Altana Passport Manager

• Own the product vision for the Altana Passport Manager, which lets border authorities review product passports and apply their own sovereign business logic — powered by Altana’s robust data, ML models, and AI — to pre-clear goods before they ever reach the border.
• Move authorities beyond paper-based trusted-trader programs toward real-time, data-driven pre-clearance that scales with global trade volumes.
• Build the tooling that lets each authority encode, test, and govern its own rules and risk logic on top of Altana’s network intelligence — without writing code and without ceding control of its data.

Modernize Entry Processing at the Speed of Trade — Altana Entry Processing System

• Own the Altana Entry Processing System, which integrates with and augments an agency’s existing targeting systems to deliver AI-driven entry review on streaming entries — applying Altana’s most sophisticated AI and ML while meeting the low-latency demands of live trade.
• Own the integration layer: high-volume REST APIs, EDI pipelines, and configurable connections to customs management and targeting systems that make Altana feel like a native capability, not another integration project.
• Ensure the system augments rather than rips out — earning trust by improving the targeting and workflows agencies already depend on.

Sharpen Enforcement & Revenue Protection — Altana Trade Enforcement Suite

• Own the Altana Trade Enforcement Suite, giving customs, border, and revenue agencies the ability to screen for the full spectrum of enforcement and revenue threats, including:
  • Enforcement: counternarcotics, forced labor, trade-based money laundering, and trade diversion.
  • Revenue: undervaluation, illegal transshipment and country-of-origin (COO) laundering, and HS misclassification.
• Move agencies beyond simple rule-matching to AI-driven, network-aware targeting — surfacing shell companies, obfuscated ownership, and anomalous trade routes that indicate evasion, illicit trade, or sanctions circumvention.
• Deliver a suite of customizable targeting models that each border authority can tailor to its own priorities, threat picture, and legal authorities.
• Design the investigator-facing workflows officers use to review high-risk shipments, gather evidence, collaborate across teams and agencies, and build cases that hold up.

Lead a High-Impact Product Team

• Set the product strategy and roadmap across pre-clearance, entry processing, and enforcement — balancing near-term agency impact against the long-term platform bets that matter most.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, data science, and government affairs and our private sector product and engineering teams to translate policy mandates and operational realities into product capabilities that work at the scale and latency border agencies require.
• Build a culture of “show, don’t tell” — a team that defines system interfaces, drafts API specs, and prototypes workflows before production code is written, and that ships things that work in the real world.

Requirements

• 8+ years at the intersection of trade, customs enforcement, or border security technology.
• Deep understanding of how customs and border authorities work, operational constraints, data limitations, and political realities.
• Experience translating high-level policy mandates (forced labor enforcement, counternarcotics, trusted-trader modernization, revenue protection) into concrete product features.
• Ability to think in networks rather than transactions; energized by graph-based analytics, AI-driven pattern detection.
• Experience writing requirements engineers can build and explaining complex data concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong ability to hold policy and product considerations simultaneously.
