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 Senior Product Manager in Media, you'll lead the development of our advertising products: the ways trades reach homeowners on Checkatrade. You'll improve what's already live, build new products from scratch and help launch an entirely new growth stream for the business. It's a direct line to Powering Great Work: giving trades better ways to win work, and giving homeowners a better way to find the right tradesperson.
The job, unfiltered:
- Design new advertising products and upgrade the ones already live, so trades have stronger ways to reach customers.
- Turn user behaviour, market trends and performance data into product decisions that move metrics.
- Work side by side with engineers, designers, data scientists and commercial teams. Get into the detail, ship quickly and solve problems together rather than lobbing tickets over the fence.
- Run experiments all the time: A/B tests, pricing trials, performance tuning and live-data tweaks, to find out what great looks like.
- Drive the launch of a new growth stream for Checkatrade. Your ideas won't sit in a backlog; they'll shape how advertisers connect with customers.
