The role:
We are hiring a Director, Technical Product Management to bring clarity, cohesion, and execution rigor to Hedera’s core protocol and developer platform.This role exists to ensure that protocol evolution, developer experience, and ecosystem needs translate into a coherent, high-quality, and widely adopted product roadmap.Without this role, we risk fragmented roadmap decisions, degraded developer experience, and slower ecosystem adoption.
