Job description

Join us as a Senior Content Marketing Specialist

Want to do work that really matters?

At Checkatrade, we're building the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace.

We can only do that by growing our community of skilled, trusted trades. As our next Senior Content Marketing Specialist, you'll be at the heart of that mission, creating standout content that connects with trades, builds trust, and showcases the value of being part of Checkatrade.

From videos and podcasts to social posts and thought leadership, you'll shape how we show up in the spaces our audience already engages with. You'll bring stories to life, spark conversations, and produce content that inspires trades to join and stay with Checkatrade.

Forget long lists - here's what you'll actually spend your time on:

• You’ll shape the content marketing strategy to grow awareness, engagement, and brand love among trades.
• From podcasts to videos and more, you’ll bring to life what success looks like and how Checkatrade helps make it happen.
• You’ll brief, guide and collaborate with videographers, designers and agencies to produce content that's as slick as it is scroll‑stopping.
• You’ll write sharp messaging, shape compelling stories, and flex content across digital, social, and print channels.
• From Paid Media and SEO to CRM and Brand, you’ll connect the dots to deliver joined‑up, high‑impact campaigns.
• You’ll use insight and performance to sharpen content, grow reach, and boost results. Always learning, always improving.
• You’ll work hand‑in‑hand with Sales, Product and Marketing, making sure content supports real business goals (not just vanity metrics).

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:

• You’ve worked in content marketing and have a portfolio that shows your flair for video, podcasts and multimedia.
• You’ve made work that grows awareness, builds engagement and delivers real impact, not just vanity metrics.
• You’re just as happy shaping strategy as you are getting hands‑on, writing, producing, and making things happen.
• You know how to track content performance across platforms and use that insight to sharpen what comes next.

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 Head of Acquisition
• 2nd stage interview with Marketing and Product leaders

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.
