The market is our specialism.
GFFC works across four closely connected sectors where product knowledge, regulation, technology, risk and commercial models create distinct hiring requirements.
Forex and FX Brokerage
We recruit senior leaders and specialists for retail and institutional FX brokers, multi-asset trading firms and directly connected businesses. Searches are shaped around the firm's client model, licence, geography, platform, liquidity structure, distribution strategy and growth stage.

- Regional and Country Head
- Head of FX, Trading or Dealing
- Head of Institutional Sales

We search across traditional proprietary trading businesses and the funded trader sector, while testing candidates against the specific operating model of each client.

- Board and C-suite
- Managing Director
- Head of Trading or Dealing
- Risk and compliance leadership
- Product and platform leadership
- Commercial, sales and marketing leadership
- Operations and client-services leadership
Search without artificial borders.
Online trading is an international market. Depending on the mandate, GFFC can search across the UK and Europe, Cyprus, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and other relevant financial centres. Geography is defined by the licence, customer base, operating model and availability of the right talent—not by where the recruiter happens to sit.
- UK and Europe
- Cyprus
- The Middle East
- Africa
- Asia-Pacific
- Other relevant financial centres
