Technical Program Manager (Protocol)

Why Morpho Exists

Everyone has the potential to build something great for the world. But fulfilling that ambition almost always requires more: people willing to trust you with their capital. Yet access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which institutions are willing to trust you. Even when capital is available, it sits fragmented across disconnected networks and hidden behind intermediaries. The result is a system that fails most of the people it should serve. Borrowers overpay. Lenders earn less than they should. Many are shut out entirely, not because they are unworthy of credit, but because today's infrastructure was never built to connect them. Morpho exists to solve this. Full article here.

Role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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 program management process itself as the team scales.
