Job summary

Qualifications

• 5+ years building technical products in complex or fast-changing environments.
• Proven track record taking products or major features from ambiguous problem spaces through launch and iteration.
• Strong technical fluency, with the ability to reason about system design and constraints, engage deeply with engineers and researchers, and translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences.
• Excellent product judgment: you can distinguish important user problems from requests, make principled tradeoffs, and focus teams on the work with the greatest impact.
• Strong user discovery and synthesis skills, with the ability to uncover needs across different user types and turn incomplete or conflicting inputs into clear direction.
• Experience leading cross-functional work without relying on formal authority.
• Ability to define success, use quantitative and qualitative evidence, and adapt direction as new information emerges.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, especially in an async environment.
• Comfort creating clarity and driving decisions in highly ambiguous contexts.
• Strong ownership and autonomy: you act without waiting to be told.
• Team-first mindset, low ego.

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap for Morpho's protocol team, defining the highest-impact problems to solve and sequencing opportunities against company goals, user needs, technical constraints, and ecosystem dynamics.
• Build and run a continuous discovery process with curators, distributors, integrators, developers, and other protocol users to understand their workflows, pain points, and emerging needs.
• Translate user and market insights into clear product requirements, decision frameworks, and success criteria that help protocol and engineering teams move quickly with strong rationale.
• Partner closely with protocol, engineering, research, security, legal, solutions, partnerships, and marketing to take initiatives from early exploration through design, implementation, audit, launch, and adoption.
• Evaluate product and technical tradeoffs, including when to extend the protocol, improve surrounding infrastructure, enable partners, or deliberately avoid adding complexity.
• Define and track the signals that show whether protocol initiatives are working, combining quantitative data with ecosystem feedback to guide iteration and future investment.
• Communicate product direction, decisions, tradeoffs, and release implications clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Improve how product decisions are made and documented as Morpho and its protocol ecosystem scale.
