Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)

About PFM

Prop Firm Match Global FZCO is a leading platform for discovering, comparing, and selecting top proprietary trading firms. We provide traders with tools and features to easily compare challenge details, read verified reviews, see accurate payout data, and much more. We're a fast-moving, fully remote team with members from all around the world caring deeply about the quality of what we build. Our culture values ownership, clear communication, and practical impact over fluff. Whether you're a trader, technologist, marketer, or operator - your work here shapes how thousands of users find and trust prop firms.
About The Department

Marketing at PFM spans four pillars - Brand & Comms, Growth, Owned Media, and Community & Partnerships. It owns how PFM shows up across web, social, paid, owned media, and community, and is the engine behind audience growth and brand reputation in the prop trading industry. Our current priority is bringing senior leadership into a function that has strong ICs but needs unified ownership, commercial discipline, and a multi-channel strategy aligned to PFM's scaling journey.
About The Role

Bring senior marketing leadership to PFM, taking the function from a scattered set of channels into a unified, company-wide engine that drives brand, demand, and audience growth. Own PFM's voice in market, build out the senior marketing leadership layer, and put in place the attribution and measurement discipline the function needs to scale.
