Programmatic Display Manager

Who are we?

WorldRemit is changing the way people send money abroad. We’ve taken something complicated and made it simple, so that sending money is as easy as sending a text message  Tap the WorldRemit app or head to  on our website, and your international transfer is made – to a bank account, cash pickup, Mobile Money, or airtime top-up. Founded in 2010, we send international remittances from 50 countries to more than 150 countries and we continue to expand our footprint.

Using WorldRemit is easy because we do the hard part, connecting hundreds of banks, money agents, mobile operators and payment systems around the world. These were never designed to work together, but WorldRemit makes it happen.

WorldRemit has grown - on average - by 50% year on year and is now processing over £3.1bn of remittances on an annualised basis.  WorldRemit’s success, and the size of the market it is operating in, means it has attracted investment from the world’s leading technology and impact investors, Accel, Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) and Leapfrog with $370m invested to date. We currently employ close to 1,000 employees and have offices in London, USA, Philippines, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and other locations.

The journey is just beginning. We believe in faster, simpler, more accessible money transfers. That means building better products and services for our customers. 

Changing the world isn’t easy – so we only hire the most talented people. You need to think differently, believe in new solutions to old problems, and have the drive to make them happen. We aim to attract, retain and develop people that can bring to life our values: 

• Aim high - We dream big, think bold and go the extra mile
• Embrace challenge - We ask questions, start conversations, and always love to learn
• Do what’s right - We act with integrity, building trust in ourselves and in our business

 Responsibilities

Reporting to the Head of Online Marketing, you will be the company leader in Programmatic Display, working closely with other marketing channel managers and the wider team to deliver on the company’s targets. With ambitious growth plans, this role’s main goal will be to drive display performance and increase brand awareness, primarily through DoubleClick but with potential to work with other partners.

Your role will be hands-on but also has a strong strategic and decision-making component. You are not expected to just execute a given plan but rather to come up with your proposals and to make it happen… and adapt and improve as we go along.

You will be working with 6-figure monthly budgets and your success will have a big impact on the company’s results and growth. Our display programmatic activity is growing by more than 30% every quarter and contributes to both our brand awareness and more than 20% of our direct customer acquisition, so if you are looking for a role through which to make an impact, this is the perfect opportunity.

It is also your responsibility to make sure the way we communicate to our customers and prospects through display advertising is well aligned with the company’s ethos and brand guidelines.

You will contribute to the creative process within the team and work closely with the wider Social, Display, Search, Data and Product teams to maximise performance.

Skills and profile

• 4-6 years’ marketing experience, particularly having worked on display marketing channels and with excellent knowledge of the programmatic and RTB landscape.

• Data-driven and analytical mindset, but equally creative and with good eye for design: you know what a good creative looks like but data may prove you wrong and you make decisions based on data.
• Strategic approach and excellent commercial understanding: although you are highly attentive to detail, this doesn’t stop you from seeing the wider picture and challenge the status quo to achieve maximum impact.
• Good understanding of the role programmatic display plays in the whole marketing mix and ability to get buy-in so that all channels work in synergy.
• Proactive, self-motivated, inquisitive and naturally curious. Test & learn is part of your DNA and you are keen to share the learnings with the wider team.
• Exceptional technical knowledge and problem-solving skills: you know what needs to be done to track and measure results properly and can spot patterns and trends easily. And if you don’t know how to do something, but you’ll find your way.
• Strong organisational skills - able to plan, establish processes, prioritise and deliver timely.
• Ability to manage change and work in an incredibly fast-paced environment. Your role will see you liaising with the wider team and other areas of the business and it is expected that you seek collaboration when things need to get done.
• Good interpersonal, oral and written communication skills. You thrive working in a team and collaborating with others and, depending on the project, you also know when to be the leader and roll your sleeves.
• Able to structure, manipulate and analyse large and disjoint data sets from different sources and to convey the yeast of it to senior management and the rest of the team in a succinct and clear way: while pivot tables and heavy Excel files are your bread and butter, you know how to present the important information in an insightful way.
• Knowledge of dynamic advertising, rich media and Google Web Designer, DoubleClick Studio are advantageous, as is being familiar with measurement and attribution.
• Affinity with our customers and the values and principles of the company to understand the nuances of our audience and their sensibilities is essential.

Benefits
• Life assurance of 3 times your salary, should the worst happen.
• Pension scheme offering 8% matched contributions.
• Private medical and dental care plans.
• 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays, rising to 28 after 3 years.
