Job summary

Morpho is seeking a senior communications leader to own the function end-to-end, shaping narratives across fintech, traditional finance, and media. You will work directly with leadership to set priorities, craft messaging, and guide external communications using agencies and AI to maximize impact.

The role emphasizes strategic storytelling, regulatory crisis management, and building credibility with diverse audiences while operating in a fast-paced, global environment.

Qualifications

• 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

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.
