I'm thinking of including a quote on my resume from a person who worked with me as an individual contributor a few years back. Now he is in a Program Manager role. Should I list his position when we worked together, or when he made the quote (i.e. now)? I assume the more Sr. Position would look better, but I want to be sure this is not in any way misrepresentative.

In 90% of cases quotes have no value on resumes.
Your resume needs to be as objective as possible: it is only the hard results that count. What did you achieve which led this person to speak positively of you?
Recruiters (in my experience) are cynical - we'll never believe that this quote was based on the result and infer instead something about your relationship with this person (in the sense that you were friends or golf buddies).
Don't waste the space on a quote - use it for a result!

Sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for answering the real question - even if I don't like it!

I'm thinking maybe of Neil Armstrong's resume:
