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.

As our next Account Executive, SME, you’ll help bring more of the right trade businesses onto our platform, so more homeowners can get jobs done right. Working in our Strategic Growth team, you’ll be focused on new business acquisition, helping us grow our trade base in high-impact categories and regions.

Forget long lists, here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:

• Delivering high-quality, outbound sales that grow our base of small and medium trade businesses.

• Spotting untapped categories or regional opportunities and helping us act on them.

• Collaborating with our Account Management, Product, Vetting and Operations teams to get trades signed and set up for success.

• Making sure every interaction with a trade business shows the value of Checkatrade and leaves a great impression.

It’s not about ticking every box. It’s about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You’ll do well here if you bring:

• Early career experience in commercial or new sales, ideally with outbound acquisition.

• A collaborative, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude.

• Strong communication skills and a curiosity to understand what trades need.

• Confidence using CRM tools like Salesforce, or the drive to learn fast

We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here’s just a taste:

• Competitive salary + commission

• Health, well-being and learning support

• Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme

• Birthday/Special day leave

• Buy & sell holiday scheme

• 1 week’s paid charity leave and much more!

How we’ll get to know each other:

• Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners

• 1st stage interview with our Senior Manager, Commercial Strategy & Sales

• 2nd Stage interview with our Category Principal and Senior Manager, Commercial Strategy & Sales

If you require any reasonable adjustments during our interview process, please discuss them with your Talent Acquisition Partner.

If this sounds like the place where you can do your best work, we’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t tick every box
