Program Manager

NewtonThrust is an already-operational, validated international business infrastructure, designed to scale high-value economic operations across global markets and complex sectors, with technological and commercial processes already implemented on a structured development roadmap. The official launch is scheduled for November '26. Joining the R&D Team means directly participating in a value-creation model that redistributes up to 40% of the net profit generated by the entire business volume. This is not a traditional paid position, nor a consulting or hourly-based arrangement. It is a direct economic-participation infrastructure, reserved for senior profiles able to influence the system's growth, performance, and scalability. Role: Program Manager – Minimum 20h/week - Full flexibility based on results 1. Responsibilities - Define, manage, and oversee the asset's Program Management Framework, ensuring a scalable, results-oriented operational structure, and coordinate the entire portfolio of programs, projects, and strategic initiatives in alignment with business objectives and board priorities.- Translate the board's/C-Level's strategic vision into concrete executive programs (objectives, milestones, responsibilities, KPIs), creating and updating the global Program Roadmap and monitoring its progress, dependencies, and priorities.- Coordinate cross-functionally across multidisciplinary teams (R&D, Product, Marketing, Sales, Operations, Legal, Finance, Business Development), ensuring continuous communication and collaboration, and organize operational meetings, executive reviews, and stakeholder alignment sessions.- Define processes, methodologies, and operational standards to improve execution efficiency, productivity, and quality, and drive organizational change when introducing new processes, tools, and operating models.- Create and maintain strategic and operational program documentation (project plans, reports, procedures, workflows, guidelines, governance materials).- Monitor program status through KPIs, OKRs, and executive dashboards, creating advanced reporting systems that provide full visibility and support data-driven decisions by management.- Proactively identify risks, critical issues, and bottlenecks, proposing corrective strategies and mitigation plans; manage priorities and facilitate decision-making processes to allocate resources to the highest-strategic-value initiatives.- Oversee the execution of strategic programs, ensuring adherence to timelines, budget, and quality standards.- Support the board in evaluating new opportunities, partnerships, and growth paths for the asset, coordinating with C-Level and Sub C-Level figures for a unified vision across strategy, execution, and growth.- Promote continuous improvement processes and a company culture based on responsibility, ownership, and results orientation. 2.

Language required: Italian, written and spoken (mandatory) 3. Why apply - Access to a structured operational asset capable of delivering immediate impact without lengthy onboarding or setup cycles.- Infrastructure with already-validated processes geared exclusively toward producing measurable economic value.- An R&D team made up of C-Level seniors, with a structure expanding to more than 50 specialists.- Centralized governance and high-speed decision-making with direct support from the executive board.- A pipeline of projects and launches already defined and ready for execution on an international scale.- Direct exposure to high-value economic operations and already-active complex business models.- Accelerated growth trajectories toward operational and strategic leadership roles.- International corporate structure based on an LLC model with centralized governance and a holding framework.- A remote-first operating model with full autonomy, quantitative KPIs, and output-based evaluation. 4. Contribution expected - Timely delivery of objectives and output according to set deadlines, with full responsibility for the quality and verifiability of results.- Rigorous use of tools and operational processes, with attention to standardization and reducing inefficiencies.- Structured execution of initiatives, projects, and tasks according to defined workflows, without unauthorized deviations from process.- Operational collaboration with senior teams on complex activities, ensuring reliability and adaptability.- Clear, concise, operationally-focused communication, maintaining informational consistency among team members.- Operational precision, reliability, and adherence to assigned priorities, with disciplined workload management.- Constant alignment with the strategic objectives set by the system and higher decision-making levels.- An execution- and results-oriented approach, with direct responsibility for individual contribution.- Proactivity in operational improvement and in solving concrete problems within one's assigned scope. 5.

Operational roadmap The operating model doesn't require completing the entire MVP to generate economic value. Activities are structured to quickly activate monetization flows through targeted, progressive contributions, with a contained, impact-focused level of effort. - Phase 1 — Immediate activation of commercial/technological flows (in progress) The commercial infrastructure is already active, supported by a proprietary database that includes every player in the high-value automotive supply chain.This enables immediate execution of operations on real assets, drastically reducing bureaucratic friction and market inefficiencies.The technological components are already integrated into commercial processes, enabling value generation from the earliest stages. - Phase 2 — B2C scaling and B2B asset-conversion activation The B2C rollout is designed to activate license flows and grow the database, with direct effects on strengthening the Sales Community.The subsequent conversion of the B2B database enables transformation of the entire ecosystem into a monetizable asset on a larger scale. - Phase 3 — Industrialization and launch of the full MVP (Release 1) The MVP represents the formalization of the entire multi-channel system integrated across the supply chain.The release enables scalable global operations, with processes already validated and optimized for high-volume execution.The R&D team's contribution translates directly into measurable economic impact and a share of the flows generated. 7. How to apply The application process is structured as a progressive selection funnel, designed to assess precision, execution capability, and alignment with the operating model. Applications are accepted exclusively through our proprietary process, which requires accurately filling in the requested information and uploading a full CV with relevant experience. Each application is evaluated based on the quality of the responses and the level of consistency with the operating system. Non-compliant or incomplete applications are not considered. Selected profiles move to an initial phone-screening phase, aimed at verifying technical skills, operational reasoning ability, and potential contribution to the ecosystem.
