Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years in Technical Project Management, or a related role in an advanced technical or research environment
- Excellent technical communication: you distill complex technical information into clear, actionable insights for any audience, including leadership
- Deep command of project management methodologies and tools, with experience adapting them to research-centric environments
- Comfort operating in fast-changing, ambiguous contexts
- Clear and crisp communication, written and spoken, especially async
- Strong ownership and autonomy: doesn't wait to be told
- Team-first mindset, low ego
What the job involves
- Morpho's Protocol team is running more projects at once, and each one now involves product, engineering, and external stakeholders from day one
- This role exists to keep every project's status current, surface blockers and dependencies early, and own the relationship with audit firms. It is Morpho's first dedicated TPM hire, so you will build the function as you run it
- Build and maintain protocol roadmaps in Linear, mapping schedules, dependencies, and milestones so every team knows what ships when
- Own communication with internal teams and external stakeholders (curators, distributors, partners) to keep them aligned on protocol changes, releases, and dependencies
- Monitor project health across the portfolio, anticipating risks and tracking cross-project dependencies before they become blockers
- Coordinate syncs across protocol, product, and engineering, setting agendas, driving decisions, and tracking follow-ups
- Manage relationships with audit firms: negotiate contracts, track past and ongoing audits, and line up auditor availability with development timelines
- Define and improve Morpho's project management process itself as the team scales
- What Success Looks Like
- First 30 days
- You have a clear view of current and upcoming projects, know the internal and external stakeholders (curators, distributors, partners, auditors), and understand the protocol team's development and release process
- First 3 months
- You keep the protocol roadmap up to date and proactively inform stakeholders of relevant developments. You own the auditor relationship day-to-day and understand cross-project dependencies well enough to anticipate difficulties
- First 6 months
- You spot planning inconsistencies and cross-team conflicts before they become blockers. You own audit contract negotiation, pricing, and budget management end-to-end
Our take
Morpho Labs’ Morpho Blue is a blockchain layer for protocols and apps to be built upon. Empowering the ability to externalise risk management, it allows blockchain creators to integrate the layer into their own risk and compliance systems. Ultimately, Morpho is a lending protocol built upon open-source algorithms.
Originally founded as an optimisation layer for interest rate improvements, it has now evolved into a base layer for builders of crypto lending applications. With the intention of making DeFi protocols more accessible and easy to use through a user-controlled risk assessment platform, the company has attracted significant interest from big-hitting investors such as Coinbase Ventures and Variant. Morpho intends to use these funds to accelerate its mission to make financial infrastructure a public good.
