Senior Product Manager-Vault

Alt is unlocking the value of alternative assets, starting with the $5 B trading-card market. We let collectors buy, sell, vault, and finance their cards in one place and we are backed by leaders at Stripe, Coinbase, Seven Seven Six, and pro athletes like Tom Brady and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Our next frontier is real-time pricing at scale—the Alt Value that powers every trade, loan, and product on the platform. Mission: Build the best, fastest, and most scalable vault experience for collectibles. Northstar Metric: Time-to-Liquidity (Median + P90) Summary: We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own Alt’s Vault end-to-end — from the moment an item arrives at the vault to the moment it leaves. This role owns all internal vault workflows, tooling, SLAs, logistics, and activation paths that turn physical collectibles into liquid, revenue-generating inventory. The Vault is a profitable, high-throughput business unit and a core growth engine for Alt. This PM is the GM of the Vault experience , responsible for ensuring the vault can scale volume, activate inventory faster, and deliver a world-class, AI-enabled experience across domestic and international customers. This role has direct influence on the Vault P&L through speed, cost, quality, and inventory activation. While this role does not own the P&L outright, it materially shapes unit economics and growth. It will also play a central role in enabling future expansion opportunities. This is a large, meaty role with real operational, technical, and business impact — ideal for a builder who wants to apply modern software and AI to a complex physical system. Why This Role Exists: Alt’s Vault now holds hundreds of millions of dollars of inventory and continues to grow rapidly. Functionally, the Vault operates like a high-end warehouse and 3PL business, layered with sophisticated internal software and marketplace integration. Vault performance directly determines: How fast customers get paid How efficiently Alt operates at scale How quickly inventory becomes live and monetized Whether the business can grow without linear headcount growth Today, too much of this system relies on manual coordination, tooling gaps, and founder involvement. We need a dedicated Product Manager to own the Vault as a system, professionalize workflows, introduce automation and AI-assisted tooling, and ensure the Vault can scale into a durable, standalone capability. What You’ll Own: 1. End-to-End Vault Lifecycle Own the full lifecycle of items from arrival at the vault to exit: Receiving and ingest SLAs Intake, processing, and internal routing Exception handling and quality control Outtake, shipping, and customer handoff Define and enforce predictable, measurable SLAs at every stage. Continuously identify bottlenecks and failure modes and remove them systematically. 2. International Shipping & Logistics Own international shipping workflows, including customs, insurance, labeling, and carrier integrations. Build scalable systems that support global customers with speed and reliability. Reduce friction, delays, and risk in cross-border logistics. Ensure shipping workflows are tightly integrated into vault SLAs and liquidity outcomes. 3. Internal Tools, Automation & AI Own the roadmap for all internal Vault tools (Retool and beyond). Design systems for queue management, prioritization, labeling, SLAs, and exception handling. Actively experiment with AI agents, automation tools, and human-in-the-loop workflows to reduce manual work and variability. Replace tribal knowledge and ad hoc coordination with durable, scalable software. 4. Inventory Activation & Liquidity Partner cross-functionally (Pricing, Auctions, CX, Risk) to ensure vaulted inventory is listed, activated, and monetized quickly. Reduce time between “in vault” and “live on marketplace.” Unlock value from existing inventory through better tooling, workflows, and coordination. 5. Quality, Reliability & Trust Define and manage error rates, rework, and ex
