Location - Kings Cross, 4 day per week
We are hiring a Marketplace Analytics Lead to join the Matching team, reporting into the Marketplace Analytics Manager.
Matching is the function responsible for how we connect consumers with the right tradespeople. It covers the search experience, offer logic, and the rules that determine visibility and prioritisation. The team is evolving from a lead-based model toward a more integrated, intelligent marketplace. You’ll be central to that transition.
You’ll work closely with product managers and engineers to design experiments, evaluate impact, and shape how users and trades interact with our platform. From AI-powered search to instant bookings, this is about rethinking Matching at its core - not just making marginal gains.
Key outcomes include improving relevance of search results, job completion rate, and fairness of exposure for trades.
Where do you fit in?
This is a high-impact opportunity to help shape how consumers and tradespeople connect. You’ll work on one of the most strategically important areas of our product, bringing curiosity, rigour, and structure to improve the Matching experience through experimentation and data.
About Us
We’re Checkatrade – the UK’s leading platform for finding a tradesperson. With more than 50,000 trades listed and over 6 million reviews, we help homeowners get jobs done right and help tradespeople grow their business.
We’re growing fast, with big plans to become the go-to brand for home improvements. If you care about great work, take pride in the details, and want to make an impact, you’ll fit right in.
