Job summary

Morpho is a leading DeFi lending protocol seeking a senior communications professional to own its end-to-end communications function. This role positions Morpho as a recognized voice across fintech, traditional finance, investors, and financial media.

Qualifications

• 7+ years experience in communications and/or 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.

• 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.
