Want to build something 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.
Now we’re taking that mission even further with TradeMore, our new app built to help tradespeople run and grow their businesses with ease. From AI-led job management to time-saving tools, we’re building tech that gives tradespeople their time back. We’re looking for a Strategy & Operations Associate to help shape, scale, and grow TradeMore.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in startup-style environments as well as someone who can think strategically one moment and roll up their sleeves the next.

Using data and insights to identify opportunities, improve performance, and inform strategy.
Designing and optimising go-to-market and growth processes as we scale.
Partnering with product teams to improve the user journey and bring new features to market.
Getting stuck into the details – from building dashboards to testing new workflows and tools.
Owning strategic projects end-to-end, from idea to execution, and measuring their impact.
Entrepreneurial at heart – you get energy from building things from scratch and finding smart ways to scale them.
Experienced in start-up or fast-paced tech environments, ideally in operations, strategy, or growth roles.
Analytical and structured in your thinking – you make decisions grounded in data and insight.
A great communicator who can build relationships across teams and turn complex ideas into action.
