Head of Futures

About Prop Firm Match Global FZCO

Prop Firm Match Global FZCO is the leading platform for discovering, comparing, and selecting proprietary trading firms. We help traders make confident, informed decisions through side-by-side comparisons, verified reviews, and data-backed insights.

The futures category has grown to represent ~50% of company revenue and has significant upside. However, it lacks dedicated ownership, domain expertise, and innovation. This role exists to fix that.

Role Mission

The Head of Futures owns the end-to-end development, quality, and growth of the futures category at PFM, ensuring it becomes the most trusted, accurate, and insightful resource for futures prop trading globally. This role is responsible for setting the standard for how futures firms are researched, compared, presented, and understood - combining deep domain expertise with strong analytical thinking and the ability to translate insights into high-impact content and product improvements.

You are not here to contribute. You are here to own, elevate, and define the category.

Requirements

Performance Objectives (6–12 months)

• Build the most trusted and accurate futures knowledge layer (first 90 days → ongoing)
  • Establish PFM as the most reliable source of truth for futures prop trading.

  • Identify inconsistencies, hidden constraints, and edge cases others miss.
  • Create internal standards for how firms are evaluated and compared.

  • Move from static comparison to insight-driven product experience.
  • Improve how firms are structured, compared, and displayed on the site.
  • Introduce clearer frameworks, filters, and comparison logic.
  • Identify what actually matters to traders - and reflect that in the product.
  • Work with Product to implement improvements.
• Drive continuous innovation in data, insights, and presentation (ongoing)
  • Push the category forward - don’t maintain it.
  • Identify new ways to present data, comparisons, and insights.
  • Experiment with formats (data layers, breakdowns, educational content).
  • Introduce ideas competitors are not thinking about.
  • Constantly question “is this the best way to show this?”
• Take full ownership of the futures category performance (ongoing)
  • Be accountable for outcomes, not output.
  • Monitor performance of futures category (traffic, engagement, conversions).
  • Identify gaps and opportunities for growth.
  • Prioritise work based on impact, not activity.
  • Act as the internal authority on everything futures-related.
