Senior Product Manager

Position Summary

Altair Data is seeking a results-driven Senior Product Manager to join our newly formed Solutions Delivery Group. This role is designed for a high-impact project leader who specializes in "the heavy lift"—managing complex, high-stakes projects that fall outside of standard operating procedures. Whether leading a 90-day custom client implementation or spearheading the launch of a new internal data product, you will be responsible for turning strategy into reality through disciplined execution and cross-functional leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Complex Project Leadership: Lead the end-to-end execution of Altair’s most complex client projects (typically 30–90 day cycles) and internal product initiatives.
• Strategic Problem Solving: Act as a "business consultant" to identify project bottlenecks and engineer creative solutions to keep initiatives on track.
• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Serve as the central hub between Sales, Operations, Development, and Data Build teams to ensure technical specifications align with business objectives.
• Stakeholder Management: Provide high-touch communication to internal leadership and strategic client partners, ensuring absolute clarity on project milestones and risks.
• Process Architecture: Help define the workflows for the new Solutions Delivery Group, ensuring that complex projects can eventually be templated for scalability.
• Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify "surprises" in the project lifecycle and lead rapid remediation efforts to protect Altair’s reputation and delivery timelines.

Qualifications

• 8+ Years of Experience: Proven track record in project/program management within a data-driven or technology environment.
• Complex Delivery Expertise: Demonstrated success in managing multi-phase programs that require deep integration between different departments.
• Agile Mindset: Ability to operate with urgency and flexibility in a fast-paced environment where project scopes may evolve.
• Technical Fluency: Comfortable discussing API solutions, data processing, and analytics with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
• Tool Proficiency: Expertise in project management software (e.g., ClickUp, Microsoft Planner) to maintain rigorous documentation and schedules.
• Education/Certification: PMP or similar certification is highly preferred.

What Success Looks Like

• Complex initiatives are delivered on time and within scope, serving as a "force multiplier" for company growth.
• The gap between a "sold" vision and a "delivered" product is seamlessly bridged with zero ambiguity.
• Internal stakeholders view the Solutions Delivery Group as the gold standard for execution and reliability.
