At Skoove, we unlock the magic of playing an instrument. With more than 3 million users today, we create one of the world’s leading interactive apps to learn piano. With our team of 30 certified music nuts, Skoove is built on 3 pillars: our tech which utilises AI to help users learn, our learning content which is built off the back of our strong partnerships with major labels and customer acquisition – we have a strength in SEO that we want to double down on with this role.

We also recently acquired the violin learning app Trala, expanding our mission beyond piano to more instruments. In this role, you may also contribute to shaping and supporting Trala’s SEO strategy as part of a smaller portion of your work.
