Join us as Analytics Lead (Marketplace)

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 Analytics Lead (Marketplace), you’ll help us make that match smarter. From AI-powered search to instant bookings, you’ll bring structure, rigour and curiosity to one of the most strategically important areas of our platform.

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

• Designing and analysing experiments that improve how we match homeowners and trades.
• Digging deep into behavioural data to shape product decisions.
• Turning ambiguity into clarity, breaking big, messy problems into testable ideas.
• Helping product teams balance what’s best for consumers, trades, and the wider business.
• Supporting the rollout of intelligent new features like AI-matching and instant bookings.
• Building frameworks that guide prioritisation and measure success across the marketplace.
  

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:

• Experience in analytics, experimentation, or optimisation roles, ideally in marketplace or digital product teams.
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with large behavioural datasets.
• Hands-on knowledge of A/B testing and how to set up meaningful experiments.
• A clear-thinking, problem-solving mindset and the confidence to navigate complex trade-offs.
• A collaborative working style, especially when partnering with product and engineering teams.
• Bonus if you’ve worked on search relevance, ranking, or marketplace mechanics.
• Familiarity with Python or R is helpful, but not a dealbreaker.

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 much more!

How we’ll get to know each other:

• Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners
• 1st stage interview with our Marketplace Analytics Manager
• 2nd Stage interview and case study with the VP of Marketplace and Senior Stakeholders

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
