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 โ representing a high-growth platform and building strategic partnerships directly with brokers.
This role goes beyond relationship management โ 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.
