Head of Communications

As Head of Communications at Morpho, you own the communications function end to end and establish Morpho as a recognised voice across fintech, traditional finance, investors, and financial media. This is a senior individual contributor role where you set the direction and execute it yourself, using existing colleagues, agencies, and AI as leverage. Morpho is a leading DeFi lending protocol backed by a16z crypto, Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, and others, with over a billion in deposits and institutional clients including Bitwise, Galaxy, and Anchorage Digital.

What you'll do

• Own Morpho's communications strategy, priorities, narratives, and standards across channels, ensuring every announcement supports 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 go-to-market 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 you bring

• A track record owning a full communications function including strategy, PR, executive, investor, and crisis communications at a scaled fintech, financial services company, or high-growth technology company
• Exceptional writing and storytelling ability: you turn complex ideas into clear, persuasive narratives tailored to different audiences
• Regulatory and crisis communications experience, including navigating sensitive regulatory issues, public criticism, or reputational risk
• Strong business and financial acumen to understand complex business models and translate them into effective communications
• An understanding of what makes a story newsworthy and how to build credibility with audiences outside your existing circles
• Skill at using AI to multiply personal capacity and execution speed without compromising judgment or quality
• Strong ownership and autonomy: you identify opportunities and risks and act 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: you are collaborative, open to feedback, and willing to roll up your sleeves regardless of seniority

What we offer

• Fair, top-tier compensation
• Real flexibility
• Time together in Paris
• Great health coverage
• Support to keep learning
• Hybrid work based in New York or fully remote (ET timezone)
