Powering Great Work
We started as the place to find a trusted trade. Now, as we shape the future of home improvement, we're building the tech to transform that landscape for everyone - better products, smarter data, AI where it actually helps - so trades can spend less time on admin and consumers can find someone they trust, first time. That's Powering Great Work, and it's why every team here exists:
🔧 Trades spend less time on admin and more on winning work and growing their business
🏠 Homeowners get a trusted trade, first time, every time
🚀 We get to build products that change homes and lives across the country
The Job, Unfiltered
- Own a portfolio of high-value trade businesses end to end, and run a proactive outbound motion that grows revenue by getting them using and optimising the full Checkatrade suite.
- Build and run a clear monthly plan for every account, shaped by their goals, their data and the realities of their business.
- Influence decisions at every level, from owner to board, using performance data and a deep understanding of how trade businesses actually make money.
- Spot blockers before they cost revenue, then fix them. Design the processes and ways of working that make accounts run smoothly, so tradespeople can focus on growing.
- Build credible, high-trust relationships with senior stakeholders through regular contact and practical, strategic support. You’re their go-to commercial partner, not just their account manager.
The Fit
- A track record of managing and growing a significant book of revenue, with the results to prove it.
- A hybrid hunter/farmer mindset: hungry to achieve short-term revenue targets, while able to flex into building long-term strategic value.
- Real ownership of your portfolio, your performance and your commercial outcomes. You don’t wait to be told what to do next.
- Commercial credibility with senior decision-makers. You can challenge, advise and negotiate, and they listen.
- Resilience. When things don’t go to plan, you reset, adapt and keep moving.
- A collaborative, influential, people-first approach that makes people want to work with you, internally and externally.
- Confidence with CRM and AI tools, or the curiosity to pick them up fast and use them to work smarter.
- Adaptability and a willingness to learn quickly.
(Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.)
