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.
Location
Paris or remote (from -5h GMT up to +2h GMT to ensure sufficient overlap with the rest of the team).
Role
Morpho's Midnight launch brought fixed-rate, fixed-term lending onchain, and with it a set of credit markets that were never viable before. This role decides which of those markets Morpho pursues, what each one demands, and how to get there. It exists because the opportunity is far larger than the team can chase at once, so the sequencing has to be right.
Responsibilities
- Own Morpho's strategy for expanding into new credit markets, building the framework that sizes and sequences each opportunity so the team goes after the ones that will gain real traction.
- Size net new markets including custodied Bitcoin, tokenized equities, undercollateralized credit and credit card receivables, using market data and competitive dynamics to decide where Morpho moves first.
- Build and run the process that surfaces what institutions actually need across a range of use cases and industries, so Morpho knows which problems to solve to unlock each loan type.
- Work with protocol, engineering, solutions, partnerships, marketing and legal to decide where Morpho builds and where it partners, then ship multiple zero-to-one loan categories.
- Design and run proof of concepts with new counterparty types, then use the results to scale a proven model across the rest of that market.
- Map the regulatory, compliance and registration requirements attached to each new market and factor them into which opportunities Morpho takes on, and in what order.
