Product Expert, PLM and ERP

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. PLM systems know what a product is designed to be. ERP systems know what was ordered and built. Trade and logistics systems know what was shipped and declared. In theory, these should tell a coherent story. In practice, the products these systems model diverge, lack granularity or were stylized in a way that makes the changing face of globalization break down. The as-designed BOM, the as-sourced BOM, and the as-built BOM diverge — silently, constantly — and nobody finds out until a shipment is held, an audit is triggered, or a forced labor allegation surfaces three tiers deep in a supply chain no one has fully mapped. It doesn't have to be this way. Altana's Product Passports represent a fundamentally different model: a structured, continuously maintained product identity that spans the full [... source excerpt omitted ...] between a SKU in an ERP and a line item on a CBP entry is closed not by manual rekeying, but by a product model that was right from the start. As Product Expert for PLM and ERP, you will be the domain authority who helps Altana build this future. You've lived inside these systems — implementing PLM platforms, configuring ERP workflows, tracing the broken handoffs between product engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and trade compliance. You know exactly where the seams fail. Now you're ready to stop patching them and build the solution. You will work at the intersection of deep enterprise systems expertise, product strategy, and modern AI tooling — translating what you kno [... source excerpt omitted ...] econciliation, 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.
