About the role
As a member of the SEO & Content Marketing team, you will aim high, embrace challenges and always do what’s right; acting with integrity and building trust as you contribute to the company’s direction.
As the ASO Manager, you will help to grow both our Apple App Store and Google Play Store presence across key remittance markets and send/receive corridors globally, attracting relevant traffic and then working proactively to convert that traffic. You will help to shape, execute and improve a robust ASO strategy for both the WorldRemit and Sendwave apps (and any future app development projects) to deliver against ambitious growth plans.
You will own and champion the ASO roadmap, working closely with Product, Martech, Performance Marketing, Brand/Creative and other teams as required. You will be responsible for initiating projects, developing test ideas, implementing optimisations and driving hands-on outputs from the roadmap that lead to favourable outcomes for our business and our customers.
You thrive in a fast-paced environment, moving quickly from idea to implementation. You feel comfortable collaborating with a wider range of cross-functional stakeholders and departments at all levels and are able to confidently and articulately communicate ASO related subject matter tailored to each of these internal audiences. However, you must feel equally comfortable working autonomously. You possess critical thinking skills and have a passion for self-directed learning in your field.

- Work closely with the Performance Marketing team to ensure that ASO efforts are appropriately harmonised with UACs/ASAa for maximum growth efficiency.
- Deconstruct and optimise the app user journey and funnel, working with relevant stakeholders.
- Respond to ad hoc requests for ASO support from across the business, positioning yourself as an authoritative subject matter expert in the field with articulate recommendations.
- Be aware of releases, projects and initiatives taking place across the business, proactively stepping and synchronising where there is an opportunity to protect or enhance ASO.
- Effectively manage ASO agency resources at your disposal, establishing a strong partnership and ensuring maximum value is extracted to help scale the channel.
- Measure the outcomes of your ASO efforts and report these back to the business, championing ASO data/analytics/reporting and taking responsibility to improve both reliability and usefulness.
- Leverage ASO and other tools/resources to consistently monitor market trends and perform competitor analysis in relation to our apps, to help inform further optimisations.
What you bring to the table:
- Passion and deep knowledge of ASO and app technologies.
- Significant experience working hands-on with ASO in a previous roles
- Experience working with global brands and international ASO.
- The ability to self-start, stay organised and plan / prioritise workload over time to ensure deadlines are met and work is delivered - sometimes under pressure.
