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 AI Operations Analyst, you’ll make sure our AI-powered customer experience tools run reliably day to day and get better week to week. You’ll keep the knowledge base accurate, the guardrails tight, performance on track, and help us scale into new channels like outbound and chat.

This role sits in the Customer Experience (CX) team and exists for one reason: AI outcomes don’t happen by accident, they happen through disciplined operations.

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

• Keeping Conversational AI Platform running daily, configuring workflows, routing and escalation so customers get the right outcome fast.

• Drive Knowledge Upkeep, identify gaps ensuring information is accurate, fresh and consistent as processes changes & new products launch.

• Building and maintaining guardrails, so the AI behaves safely, clearly, and in line with how Checkatrade works.

• Monitoring performance daily, spotting degradation early (deflection, resolution quality, transfers/escalations, CSAT signals).

• Turning issues into fixes, partnering with Product, Data and Engineering to ship improvements quickly.

• Helping us scale, supporting rollout into new channels and use cases without relying on ad-hoc effort.

You’ll fit right in if you bring:

• Hands-on experience operating AI / automation tools in an ops environment (e.g., chatbot/agent workflows, knowledge base maintenance, routing/escalation logic, guardrails, prompt changes).

• Experience monitoring and improving AI performance using metrics (deflection/containment, resolution quality, escalation rate, CSAT signals) and translating issues into fixes.

• Experience in operations, CX, process improvement or tool ownership (you’ve run a system, not just analysed it).

• Confidence using data and dashboards to diagnose problems and prove impact.

• Strong attention to detail - you care about accuracy, edge cases, and what happens in real life.

• A “get it done” mindset: you own the outcome, chase dependencies, and keep delivery moving.

Bonus points if you’ve got:

• Contact centre / service operations experience.

• Familiarity with Jira/Agile ways of working.

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

• Competitive salary + annual bonus

• 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 more!

How we’ll get to know each other:

• Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners

• 1st stage interview with the Hiring Manager

• 2nd stage interview with cross-functional stakeholders

• Final stage case study / practical exercise
  

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.
