Role Mission At Prop Firm Match, the IB Specialist plays a key role in driving revenue growth by building and optimizing broker partnerships. You will develop relationships with brokers, position PFM effectively within the broker ecosystem, and create strategies that maximize commissions and long-term partnership value. This role is well-suited to commercially driven professionals with experience in brokerage environments, particularly those who have worked closely with IBs, affiliates, or partner networks. It offers the opportunity to apply that experience from a different vantage point — representing a high-growth platform and building strategic partnerships directly with brokers. This role goes beyond relationship management — it requires a strong commercial mindset, understanding of the trading ecosystem, and the ability to identify and unlock revenue opportunities. Success in this role comes from combining relationship ownership with commercial execution: identifying the right partners, structuring mutually beneficial agreements, and consistently expanding the revenue potential of each partnership.

Requirements Performance Objectives 1. Build and manage high-value broker relationships Establish strong, trust-based relationships with brokers to create long-term partnership opportunities. Key outcomes:

• Identify, reach out to, and onboard relevant brokers globally
• Build and maintain ongoing communication with broker partners
• Develop strong positioning of PFM within broker networks
• Act as the main point of contact between PFM and broker partners
• Identify opportunities to expand collaboration and partnership scope

Success looks like: A strong network of broker partnerships that actively contribute to PFM’s growth and market positioning. 2. Develop and execute commercial strategy for IB revenue growth Create and implement strategies that maximize commissions from broker partnerships. Key outcomes:

• Analyze current broker relationships and identify revenue gaps
• Develop strategies to increase commission generation and deal value
• Optimize partnership structures and commission models
• Continuously test and refine approaches to improve performance
• Align IB strategies with overall business and growth objectives

Success looks like: Measurable and consistent growth in commission-based revenue from broker partnerships. 3. Position PFM strategically within the broker ecosystem Ensure Prop Firm Match is recognized as a valuable and high-impact partner within the broker space. Key outcomes:

• Define and communicate PFM’s value proposition to brokers
• Identify positioning opportunities within the broker ecosystem
• Collaborate with internal teams to align messaging and partnerships
• Stay informed on broker trends, competitors, and market dynamics
• Recommend improvements to strengthen PFM’s market position

Success looks like: PFM being seen as a strategic partner by brokers, leading to stronger deals and increased collaboration opportunities.

Required Qualifications 2–5 years of experience as a Business Development Manager (BDM), Account Manager, or similar commercial role within a brokerage (preferably CFD brokers). Strong understanding of the prop trading and brokerage space, including how partnerships, commissions, and IB models operate. Direct experience working with IBs, affiliates, or partner networks on the broker side is highly preferred. Proven ability to build and manage business relationships, with a commercial mindset focused on revenue generation. Experience negotiating IB deals, revenue share agreements, CPA models, or hybrid commission structures. Ability to identify opportunities, think strategically, and execute independently in a fast-paced environment. Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken), with the ability to represent PFM professionally in external conversations. Self-driven, ownership-oriented, and comfortable working in a remote and asynchronous team environment. Clear understanding that this role is not a traditional broker-side BDM position, but a partner-facing commercial role where you represent an IB-like business (PFM) when working with brokers.
