Newforma Konekt's teams are scaling, and the initiatives they run are getting more complex, more contractors, more dependencies, more moving pieces to keep in sync. That's exactly what makes this role compelling: it's a newly created seat at the table, a chance to build the connective tissue that keeps a fast-moving product organization running smoothly, and to shape how that coordination works from the ground up.

Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer and partnering closely with Product Directors and Group Product Managers, you'll maintain the real-time picture of capacity, budget, and progress across squads and contractors. You'll coordinate where resources go, track what's on schedule and what's not, and keep the roadmap moving, turning leadership's decisions into smooth, well-tracked execution. You won't define roadmap content or set priority between initiatives; that stays with Directors and GPMs.

Capacity & Resource Tracking

Coordinate the annual capacity planning exercise for the roadmap, compiling inputs from squads and contractors into a realistic plan

Maintain monthly per-squad tracking of actual vs. planned assignment vs. remaining work

Recommend rebalancing across squads as priorities and availability shift, surfacing reallocation options to Directors/GPMs for decision

Contractors & Cross‑Team Coordination

Maintain operational coordination and deliverable tracking with external contractors logistics only; strategic contractor decisions remain with Directors
