Head of Product & Engineering | Full Time (m/w/d)

Who Are We ?

🚧 Picture logistics that run like clockwork — fast, smart, and seamless.

Autonomous logistics does not start with self-driving trucks. It starts with CONROO.

At CONROO, we are building an intelligent infrastructure that drives terminals and depots towards autonomy by connecting truck drivers, terminals, and depots through continuous data flows. We replace manual and paper-based processes with real-time, data-driven workflows, turning chaos into connected systems and making truck handling fully digital.

Every step we automate today lays the foundation for terminals and depots to operate autonomously tomorrow.

We are CONROO and we are driving logistics to autonomy.

Tasks

We are looking for a Head of Product & Engineering to help us scale our SaaS platform globally. In this role, you will take full ownership of our product and engineering organization and define how we build, ship, and scale our product.

• You will identify the 1–3 main constraints affecting delivery speed, stability, and scalability.
• You will establish baseline metrics for delivery, reliability, and team capacity.

By 3 months

• You will implement improvements to the product development lifecycle to increase delivery speed and predictability.
• You will establish a clear and realistic product roadmap and implement strong prioritisation and planning processes across Product and Engineering to ensure consistent execution against it.
• You will launch key initiatives to address the most critical delivery constraints.
• You will strengthen engineering practices around reliability, testing, and release management.
• You will define a scalable operating model for Product and Engineering (roles, responsibilities, decision processes).

By 6 months

• You will establish a scalable product and engineering architecture that supports faster feature delivery and long-term platform growth.
• You will ensure consistent delivery against the product roadmap.
• You will build a strong product and engineering leadership structure that supports team growth and autonomy.
