Staff Product Manager, Institutional Credit

Morpho is hiring a Staff Product Manager to make its lending protocol the credit layer for institutional assets. The role owns institutional credit products end to end, translating institutions’ trading, custody and compliance needs into scalable products and driving them from problem definition through launch and adoption.

Responsibilities:

• Own the vision, strategy and roadmap for institutional credit on Morpho, end to end
• Act as Morpho's domain expert on the institutional market. Go deep with issuers, asset managers, banks, custodians and brokers on how they finance and lend assets, represent Morpho with them, and turn conflicting input into precise problem statements and requirements
• Decide which issuers and asset types come first, which wait and which Morpho declines, and make the trade-offs explicit
• Judge which partner-specific requests become standard capabilities many institutions can use, and make the build or partner call for each
• Work as a peer to the protocol team on design trade-offs, bringing legal and risk in early on custody, transfer restrictions, valuation and liquidation for each asset type
• Drive each initiative from problem definition through launch and adoption, across teams you do not manage. Define success before launch, measured in active loans

Requirements:

• Shipped products for institutional users in capital markets or securities finance: repo, securities lending, prime brokerage, collateral management, custody or tokenized assets
• A track record of taking a product from zero to one, where you found the opportunity and carried it through launch
• Working knowledge of how institutions hold, finance and lend assets, and of the regulatory and operational constraints that shape those products
• Comfortable leading conversations with senior people at banks, asset managers and issuers, and turning them into clear requirements
• Able to deliver through influence across teams, without a dedicated engineering team
• Clear writing and speaking for technical and non-technical audiences
• Creates clarity and drives decisions in ambiguous situations, and acts without waiting to be told
• Team-first mindset, low ego
• Experience with onchain lending, tokenization or digital asset custody
• Time on both sides: at a traditional financial institution and at a technology company
• Has been a founder, or owned a new product line end to end
