About the role
- Altana's mission is to fix globalization.
- ERP systems know what was ordered and built.
- Trade and logistics systems know what was shipped and declared.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Build the case - with data, customer evidence, and working prototypes - for prioritizing the integrations and automations that unlock the most compliance value.
- Build Collaboratively with AI
Requirements
- You know these systems from the inside.
- You have spent 5+ years working with PLM and ERP systems in an enterprise manufacturing, sourcing, or trade compliance context - not as a software vendor, but as someone who had to make them work together.
- You know the difference between a SKU, a BOM line, a purchase order, a commercial invoice, an advance ship notice, and a customs entry - and you understand precisely how data integrity breaks down at each handoff.
- You've seen what happens when an ERP item master doesn't match what's actually being shipped, and you know why that matters for trade compliance.
- 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.
Nice to have
- 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
- 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
- Experience with the PLM-ERP integration layer - item master synchronization, BOM transfer, ECO/ECN workflows, and the failure modes that emerge at each handoff
- Familiarity with trade compliance data requirements and how traditional PLM and ERP systems breakdown when interacting with fright and customs.
- Experience with data modeling, integration architecture, or enterprise system implementation is a strong plus
- Prior product management, business analysis, or enterprise technology strategy experience is a strong plus - but domain depth is the priority
