Strategic Account Specialist

As our next Strategic Account Specialist, you’ll play a key role in helping us build the UK’s go-to home improvement marketplace. From driving revenue through smarter product adoption to helping tradespeople grow on the platform, your work will help millions of homeowners find the right tradesperson for the job, fast, fair, and without the faff.

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

• Selling - run a proactive outbound sales motion to upsell revenue through the adoption and optimisation of Checkatrade’s diverse suite of products

• Inbound issue resolution and mitigation - run internal investigations and proactively identify and problem solve to remove blockers to trade growth on the platform

• Relationship and credibility building - build high-trust, credible relationships through frequent touch points and strategic support for accounts
  

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:

• A hybrid hunter/farmer mindset, motivated by hitting short-term targets while building long-term value

• Resilience. You stay focused and keep moving, even when things don’t go to plan

• A strong sense of ownership over your portfolio, performance, and commercial outcomes

• A collaborative, people-first approach. You build relationships that make people want to work with you

• Commercial experience managing a book of revenue, with a track record of driving results

• Confidence using CRM and AI tools, or the curiosity to pick them up quickly

• Adaptability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn fast
  

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

• Competitive salary + annual bonus or commission (role dependent)

• Employee Share Program

• Health, well-being and learning support

• Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme

• Birthday/Special day leave

How we’ll get to know each other:

• Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners

• 1st stage interview with the Head of Account Management

• Final stage including a case study presentation
  

At the moment, this role isn’t open to visa sponsorship applications.
