Morpho is experiencing exponential adoption, with over billion in deposits on the network and used by institutional clients including Bitwise, Galaxy, and Anchorage Digital and the largest crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. Now, Morpho is scaling its team of contributors to establish itself as the open credit network, not just of DeFi, but of the world. ## 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](https://morpho.org/blog/why-morpho-exists/). Location Hybrid, New York or US Remote (ET timezone). ## Role Morpho's story is still told mostly inside crypto. This role owns the communications function end to end and makes Morpho a recognised voice across fintech, traditional finance, investors, and financial media. It is a senior individual contributor role, not a people-management role: you set the direction and execute it yourself, using existing colleagues, agencies, and AI as leverage. ## Responsibilities - Own Morpho's communications strategy, priorities, narratives, and standards across channels, so every announcement ladders up to business objectives rather than reacting to the news cycle. - Build Morpho's recognition beyond crypto through thought leadership, strategic writing, and media relationships across fintech, traditional finance, and the financial press. - Shape communications with partners, financial institutions, and investors to advance GTM priorities and strengthen strategic relationships. - Lead competitive positioning and communications around public criticism, regulatory and policy issues, and reputational crises, working closely with leadership and legal. - Decide what Morpho says, to whom, and when: read the room, anticipate how messages will land, and advise the CEO and leadership on sensitive calls. - Deliver high-impact communications initiatives hands-on, using existing team capabilities, external agencies, and AI to multiply your output without a large team. What Success Looks Like First 30 days You understand Morpho's business, priorities, competitive landscape, and audiences, and have working relationships with leadership, GTM, legal, policy, and marketing. You have assessed current communications, named the biggest narrative gaps and reputational risks, and set initial priorities. First 3 months A coherent communications strategy is in place with defined narratives, priority audiences, and an actionable plan. Proactive initiatives aimed at fintech, traditional finance, institutional, and investor audiences are live, internal stakeholders and agencies are aligned on consistent messaging, and the quality of strategic writing has visibly risen. First 6 months Morpho has measurable visibility and coverage among financial audiences beyond crypto. The CEO and marketing leadership seek you out on complex or sensitive calls, you lead crisis and reputational situations with minimal oversight, and competitive, regulatory, investor, and partner communications are established capabilities. Must Have Skills & Experience - 7+ years experience in communications and/or a clear track record owning a communications function (strategy, PR, executive, investor, and crisis communications) at a scaled fintech, financial services company, or high-growth technology company - Exceptional writer and storyteller who turns complex ideas into clear, persuasive narratives tailored to different audiences - Regulatory and crisis communications experience: navigating sensitive regulatory issues, public criticism, or reputational risk - Strong business and financial acumen, able to understand complex business models and translate them into effective communications - Understands what makes a story newsworthy and how to build credibility with audiences outside your existing circles - Skilled at using AI to multiply personal capacity and execution speed without compromising judgment or quality - Strong ownership and autonomy: identifies opportunities and risks and acts on them without being told - Comfort operating in fast-changing, ambiguous contexts across time zones and shifting priorities - Clear and crisp async communication - Low ego: collaborative, open to feedback, and willing to roll up your sleeves regardless of seniority ## Perks & Benefits We design benefits around deep work and growth, so you can do the best work of your career. Expect fair, top-tier compensation, real flexibility, time together in Paris, great health coverage, and support to keep learning. ## Equal Opportunity We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and hire based on talent, potential, and values alignment. ## About Morpho ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Morpho is an open, decentralized credit network that provides enterprise-grade infrastructure for businesses to build, embed, and scale onchain lending and borrowing products. - **Entity Type**: Private (Venture-backed; last round: Series A+ led by Ribbit Capital) - **Headquarters**: Paris, France - **Founded**: 2021 - **Founders**: Paul Frambot (Co-founder & CEO), Merlin Egalite (Co-founder) ## Core Business - **Primary Industry**: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) / Onchain Lending Infrastructure - **Target Customers**: B2B — exchanges (e.g., Coinbase, Crypto.com), fintechs, banks, regulated institutions, and risk curators building lending/borrowing products. - **Mission Statement**: "Power human ambition with open access to capital." ## Products & Services - **Morpho Blue** *(Protocol/Infrastructure)*: A permissionless, immutable lending protocol with isolated markets (1 loan asset + 1 collateral asset per market). Serves as the foundation of the lending ecosystem. - **Morpho Vaults** *(Platform)*: Curated lending vaults that allow independent risk experts to build businesses around differentiated risk profiles, auto-allocating deposits across Morpho Markets. - **Morpho Optimizer** *(Optimization Layer)*: An optimization layer (now superseded by Morpho Blue) that initially improved interest rates for users on top of Aave and Compound. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed (privately held). - **Key Metric — Total Deposits**: Over $13B in deposits (as of early 2026), up from $5B during 2025. Active loans reached $4B+. RWA deposits grew to $400M by Q3 2025. - **Key Metric — Total Funding**: $69.2M in total funding across 4 rounds. - Seed (2021): $1.2M (while founders were still at university) - Series A (2022): $18M led by a16z crypto & Variant - Venture Round (2024): $50M led by Ribbit Capital - **Notable Investors/Partners**: a16z crypto, Variant, Ribbit Capital, Pantera Capital. - **Notable Integrations (Business Customers)**: Coinbase (crypto-backed loans, its largest DeFi integration), Crypto.com, Gemini, Ledger, Lemon, Société Générale Forge, Bitget, and many other regulated institutions. - **Growth Signals**: User growth from 67,000 to 1.4M+ users (+2,000%+). Headcount grew 39.2% YoY to 52 employees, with 10 open roles in 2026.

Committed to formal verification. - **Flexible, Isolated Markets**: Unlike monolithic protocols (e.g., Aave), Morpho uses isolated, single-asset markets that can be composed into any risk profile, allowing depositors granular control over exposure. - **Liquidity Network Effect**: With $13B in deposits, Morpho provides the deepest onchain liquidity, creating a strong moat for attracting more builders and institutions. - **Top-Tier Backing & Adoption**: Backed by a16z, Variant, and Ribbit Capital, with integrations from the largest crypto exchanges globally — signaling trust and scalability. ## Strategic Focus - **Institutional Adoption**: Actively targeting banks, regulated institutions, and fintechs to embed onchain credit solutions. Société Générale Forge is a key strategic win. - **Real-World Assets (RWA)**: Growing the RWA deposit volume, which expanded from near zero to $400M in 2025. - **Geographic Expansion**: Operating in 12 countries (US, UK, Switzerland, Portugal, Singapore, NZ, etc.), with dedicated roles for APAC and Americas regions. - **Talent Acquisition**: Scaling the engineering and institutional sales teams aggressively, particularly for Protocol Engineers, Security Engineers, and strategic account managers. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Values**: Values include "Justify Everything" (challenge all decisions with rationale), "Bias for Action," "Laser-Focused," and "Simplicity." The team expects high output but supports its talent with top compensation and autonomy. - **Remote-First with Global Offices**: Flexible work policy — remote or from their Paris headquarters.
