Want to do work that really matters?
At Checkatrade, we’re building the UK’s go-to home improvement marketplace. Every day, we help millions of homeowners find the right tradesperson for the job - fast, fair, and without the faff.

Building and refining prompts, rules and workflows that keep outputs fast, smart, and brand-compliant
Running constant experiments to test what works for different trade types, channels, and regions
Collaborating with Product Marketing, Content, Design, UX and Data teams to translate strategy into action
Owning outcomes, from brief to live. No bottlenecks, no waiting around; you’re the system behind the system
Hands-on experience with AI and automation tools: especially prompt design, workflows and content generation
A systems mindset: you spot patterns, create templates, and solve once for scale
Good grasp of marketing execution across SEO, landing pages, social and content
An eye for quality and consistency, even when scaling up output
A collaborative, proactive way of working: you lead with clarity and build things that last
Competitive salary + annual bonus
Health, wellbeing and learning support
Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme
Birthday or ‘special day’ leave
Buy & sell holiday scheme
1 week’s paid charity leave — and much more!
Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners
1st stage interview with our Hiring Manager
2nd stage with a panel focused on systems thinking, marketing judgement and AI capability
Final step: a live working session where you design a simple agent-powered workflow and showcase it
Need adjustments for the interview process? Just let your TA Partner know.
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you — even if you don’t tick every box.
