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
You'll be the person who chases down the deals that help Checkatrade grow. That means landing new partnerships and finding more value in the ones we already have, so our partners and the tradespeople on Checkatrade get something real out of the ecosystem. It's the commercial side of Powering Great Work.
The job, unfiltered:
Own and grow commercial partnerships that deliver real value to our trade members.
Build a pipeline of new partnerships, from first conversation to signed deal. You'll be chasing £100k+ opportunities, so you'll need to be comfortable with that.
Shape our partnerships strategy across social, media and digital channels.
Drive advertising and sponsorship revenue across the Checkatrade Awards, Magazine and Games.
Work with the marketing, product and social teams to bring partnerships to life.
Bring a product mindset to how partner offers show up across our platforms.
The fit:
Experience in partnerships, commercial development or account management, ideally in consumer, marketplace or media.
A creative, commercially minded approach, and a track record of driving revenue.
Confidence building relationships and pitching, both inside Checkatrade and out.
Comfort with ambiguity and juggling several priorities at once.
(Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.)
