About the role
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. About the department Marketing owns how PFM finds, engages, and converts traders across every channel we use to grow. Affiliate and influencer partnerships are one of our biggest acquisition channels - over $60K a month in spend - and as that function matures under our Owned Media team, our priority is turning it into a well-negotiated, well-tracked channel instead of one that runs on relationships alone. About the role The Affiliate Manager builds an affiliate channel that creates measurable, profitable growth for PFM: turning the right partner relationships into qualified traffic, conversions, and durable revenue, while protecting deal quality and spend efficiency. This role establishes the commercial discipline and tracking PFM needs to scale partnerships into priority markets with confidence. It backfills our outgoing Affiliate Manager as they step into leading Owned Media, and works alongside our Influencer Partnerships Specialist, providing light day-to-day direction on their pipeline and priorities. Without a dedicated owner here, deals on one of our largest acquisition channels get missed or under-negotiated. Benefits Hiring stages We keep our process simple, transparent, and respectful of your time. Here's what to expect: - Application screening – We carefully review all applications to identify candidates whose background aligns with the role's requirements. You'll receive a timely and transparent update on your application status. - Video intro + role fit questionnaire – A short async step - no scheduling required. You'll record a brief video introduction and complete a written questionnaire, helping us understand your background and fit without either side committing to a live call upfront. - Discovery HR interview – A conversation with our People team focused on company and culture match - how PFM works, what remote ownership looks like day to day, and what success in this role looks like. - Practical task – A short, scoped exercise based on a real PFM affiliate/partnership challenge, not an abstract problem, designed to give both sides a realistic view of the work before committing further. - Professional interview – A conversation with the Head of Owned Media focused on your negotiation experience, how you've owned an affiliate or partnership channel end to end, and how you handle sensitive or ambiguous deal situations. - Functional interview – A broader professional conversation exploring how you work with commercial teams and partners, how you structure and present data to support business decisions, and how you identify and resolve operational bottlenecks. - Peer & values conversation – A conversation with a peer from across the team focused on values, culture, and how you work best. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions and get a real feel for life at PFM. If there's a strong mutual match, we start with an informal conversation to align on expectations, then follow up with a formal written offer. Full transparency throughout, and time for you to make an informed decision. To keep things fully transparent and mutually fair, we complete a reference check before the formal offer is extended. No surprises - just part of how we make careful, informed decisions on both sides. Before applying take into account that: ▸ If you don’t meet every single qualification but believe you can excel in the role based on what it requires - we encourage you to apply. ▸ We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. ▸ Even if it’s not listed as a formal requirement, we truly value candidates who have clear familiarity with the prop trading industry and us, our mission and what we do. Not the right fit for this role? If this role isn’t the right match but you have experience in trading operations, customer success, compliance, support, partnerships, or a related area - we still want to hear from you. Join our Talent Pool and we’ll reach out when a relevant role opens. Every submission is reviewed, and the pool is always the first place we look before opening a new search.

- - Negotiate commission structures, fees, placements, deliverables, tracking requirements, and review points.
- - Model expected cost and return before committing spend or recommending exceptions.
- - Document agreed terms and coordinate approvals, contracts, and handoffs.
- - Review underperforming deals and recommend renewal, renegotiation, or exit.

- Objective 4 - Build a repeatable partnership operating system and content governance
- Outcome: Priority markets have a visible, qualified pipeline; launches and reviews happen on time; agreed placements go live as contracted, and partner content about PFM is accurate and up to date; the channel can scale without losing commercial control or partner experience.
- Typical tasks:
- - Maintain a current deal pipeline with owner, stage, expected value, next step, and decision date.
- - Establish onboarding, briefing, compliance, and performance-review standards for partners.
- - Coordinate with the Influencer Partnerships Specialist on shared deal governance and measurement without duplicating ownership of influencer negotiations.
- - Monitor what partners publish about PFM for accuracy, brand suitability, and compliance, and act on issues through to resolution.
