We’re looking for a highly analytical Strategy & Operations Associate to support the growth of our advertising products across the Checkatrade platform. You’ll play a key role in shaping and scaling the performance of our media solutions - such as Sponsored Listings and digital ad formats - through a combination of data-led insight, operational project delivery, and cross-functional enablement.

Location: Hybrid working applies (4 days per week in the office)

Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship at this time, so candidates must already hold the right to work in the UK without any assistance.

What You’ll Do

• Drive strategic initiatives across the advertising business, from opportunity assessment to execution, helping to identify and unlock areas of growth and efficiency.
• Support improvements to key performance metrics, including advertiser engagement, campaign quality, and conversion outcomes - through deep analysis and stakeholder alignment.
• Redesign and optimize internal processes that support the advertiser journey, from onboarding to activation and retention, working closely with Sales, Product, and Ops teams.
• Lead operational workstreams that improve the advertiser and trades experience - focusing on scaling adoption of media solutions like Sponsored Listings.
• Act as a key partner to commercial and product teams, ensuring operational readiness for new initiatives, and helping coordinate cross-functional execution where needed.
• Translate data into action, using dashboards, insights, and market trends to inform decision-making and shape go-forward strategies.
  
  

• Experience - 2-3 years in consulting, strategy, business operations, or fast-paced scale-up environments. Exposure to advertising, marketing technology, or digital platforms a plus.
• Strategic thinking - Ability to define problems, structure workstreams, and support long-term business goals through focused operational execution.
• Strong analytical mindset - Skilled at breaking down data, spotting trends, and delivering insight-driven recommendations.
• Operational rigor - Experience improving and scaling business processes across cross-functional teams; bias for building structure in ambiguity.
• Commercial acumen - Comfort navigating trade-offs between business goals and operational constraints; able to connect strategy to tactical execution.
• Cross-functional collaboration - Proven track record of working across teams like Product, Sales, Marketing, and Analytics to deliver shared outcomes.
• Communication & influence - Strong storytelling and stakeholder management skills—able to distill complexity into clear, actionable updates.
