Morpho is a decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocol backed by leading crypto investors (a16z crypto, Paradigm, Coinbase Ventures, and others). The protocol has grown to over $1 billion in deposits and serves institutional clients including Bitwise, Galaxy, and Anchorage Digital, as well as major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken.
This Staff Product Manager role owns Morpho's strategy for expanding into new credit markets. You will build the framework to size and sequence market opportunities, ensuring the team pursues the highest-impact loan categories first. The Midnight launch introduced fixed-rate, fixed-term lending onchain, unlocking entirely new credit markets that were previously unviable.
Key responsibilities include:
- Develop and execute the strategy for expanding into new credit markets (custodied Bitcoin, tokenized equities, undercollateralized credit, credit card receivables, etc.)
- Size net new markets using market data and competitive dynamics to prioritize which opportunities Morpho pursues first
- Build processes to surface what institutions actually need across use cases and industries
- Collaborate with protocol, engineering, solutions, partnerships, marketing, and legal teams to decide where Morpho builds versus partners
- Design and run proof-of-concepts with new counterparty types, then scale proven models
- Map regulatory, compliance, and registration requirements for each market opportunity
Success metrics: Within 30 days, you'll be ramped on the lending stack and have mapped existing credit opportunities. By 3 months, you'll have delivered a proof-of-concept for a new loan market. By 6 months, you'll have shipped experiments across multiple categories and built internal consensus on expansion strategy.
Required experience: Proven track record taking products from zero to one in greenfield markets. Deep knowledge of crypto, traditional finance, or fintech with working understanding of credit markets. Experience shipping products with regulatory or compliance requirements. Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences. Ability to create clarity and drive decisions in ambiguous environments. Fast learner who can ramp on unfamiliar industries quickly. Team-first mindset with low ego.
