The posting

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

As our next Account Executive, you'll help bring more trades onto Checkatrade across different regions and categories. It's a new business role: you find high-potential trade businesses and guide them from the first conversation to a signed deal. You'll sit in our Strategic Growth team, at the heart of how we grow the trade network that homeowners rely on.

The job, unfiltered:

- Win new trade businesses by finding high-potential small and medium trades, building proposals that make sense for them and negotiating terms.

- Hand each new trade over smoothly to our vetting team, so the start of their Checkatrade journey goes well.

- Spot opportunities in the market, using data and insights to see where Checkatrade is strong and where we can grow.

- Work with Account Management, Vetting, Product and Operations to find the regions and categories that would benefit most from Checkatrade.

- Learn our product suite inside out, so every business case is tailored to the prospect in front of you.

- Own the outbound sales cycle, from prospecting and qualification through to proposals, negotiation and closing.

The fit:

- Solid experience in commercial or new business sales, ideally in similar markets, with a strong focus on outbound acquisition.

- A track record of finding new clients, building tailored proposals and hitting revenue targets.

- The knack for building strong relationships with tradespeople, and working closely with colleagues across teams.

- Confidence juggling multiple priorities and improving how things get done.

- Experience building customer relationships, whether through digital outreach or face-to-face conversations.

- Tenacity and resilience. This is a test-and-learn environment where persistence matters.

Nice to have: familiarity with CRM systems (Salesforce) and outbound tools, and an understanding of AI-powered optimisation tools.

(Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
