• Track record of scaling marketing in a scale-up environment.

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. This helps us understand who you are, your relevant background, and how your experience aligns with the role without either side committing to a live call upfront.
• Discovery HR Interview: A conversation with our Head of HR focused on company and culture match. We'll walk you through how PFM works, what remote leadership looks like in practice, and what success in this role looks like. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions and share your goals.
• Real-world task (paid): A scoped strategic exercise based on a real PFM marketing challenge such as channel strategy, brand positioning, or demand-engine design. We compensate for your time because we believe that's the right way to do it. This stage is designed to give both sides a realistic view of the work before committing further.
• Functional interview with the Head of Growth: A broader conversation with our Head of Growth, on multi-channel marketing fluency, attribution, integrating brand with growth, and how you operate across the full marketing stack.
• Professional interview with the CEO: You'll meet our CEO to focus on your commercial leadership: how you've scaled prior brand and demand engines, owned marketing as a revenue driver, and translated vision into execution across the full marketing stack. This is the decisive conversation on domain skills and role-specific experience.
• 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.
• Leadership interview: A closing conversation with PFM's leadership team on strategic alignment, ownership mindset, and long-term fit at the C-suite table.

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.
