What You'll Do

• Identify and champion cross-cutting offering opportunities that leverage Altarum’s combined research, policy, technology, and communications capabilities

• Establish and maintain a lightweight product-management cadence: portfolio reviews, pipeline alignment, and feedback loops with delivery and Growth teams
