Head of Product Île-de-France - Paris - Morpho Labs

Description

Morpho is a leading Decentralized Finance (DeFi) lending protocol that raised $70 million from Ribbit Capital, a16z crypto, Coinbase Ventures, Variant, Brevan Howard, Pantera, Blocktower, and 50 others to build an open lending network giving anyone, anywhere, access to the best possible terms. Morpho is experiencing explosive growth, with over $10 billion in deposits on the network, solidifying itself as the new standard for DeFi lending. Now, Morpho is scaling its team of contributors to establish itself as a cornerstone, not just of DeFi, but of a new internet-native financial system.

Our Mission

Morpho's mission is to power human ambition with open access to capital. Human ambition has no borders, but the capital to fuel it does. Today's financial system is closed and fragmented. No one sees all opportunities, most overpay, and some are excluded entirely. We believe capital should flow efficiently to where it's needed most — giving anyone, anywhere, access to the best possible terms.

How We Work

We move fast on hard problems in a nascent market with no set playbook: navigating uncertainty is part of the job. You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified. We keep a high bar and match it with high support: we help each other unblock and share context openly, with low ego. More about our .

The Opportunity

As Morpho's Product org grows from 4 to 10+ people, we need a full-time Head of Product to own product strategy and execution. This role will work closely with the CEO to translate vision into reality while building and scaling a world-class Product team. You'll establish the systems, processes, and culture that enable Morpho to deliver exceptional products across consumer, institutional, and developer surfaces.

• Work with Growth, Integrations and Marketing to ensure successful product launches to maximize product adoption and impact in the market.
