Strategic Account Manager

As our next Strategic Account Manager, 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:

• Delivering proactive sales activity that drives revenue growth through the adoption and optimisation of Checkatrade’s products

• Planning ahead with clear, monthly action plans based on your accounts’ goals, performance, and challenges

• Getting stuck into issues, running investigations, and removing blockers so trades can win more work

• Building strong, credible relationships through regular check-ins and practical, strategic support

• Working closely with internal teams to get things moving and keep accounts on track

• Making sure every interaction builds confidence in Checkatrade and the value we bring
  
  

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

• 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 the Head of Account Management

• 2nd stage interviews with Senior Stakeholders

• Final stage including a case study presentation
  
  

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.
