As our next Operations Coordinator, you'll play a key role in helping us build the UK's go-to home improvement marketplace. Joining us on a 12-month maternity cover contract, you'll be the operational bridge between Checkatrade and key partners, keeping forecasting, reporting and quality frameworks running exactly as they should. It's a role built on continuity — you'll take the reins on well-established processes and make sure nothing drops while you're at the helm.
Forget long lists, here's what you'll actually spend your time on:
Acting as the primary operational liaison for our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) partners managing a seamless handover at the start and end of the contract and maintaining trust throughout
Running our established monthly forecasting and invoice reconciliation processes, digging into variance analysis to catch and resolve unexpected cost changes fast
Keeping our BPO Quality Assurance frameworks and Tableau dashboards ticking over, running QA calibrations and live call listening to monitor compliance and interaction quality
Building and managing Statements of Work with Procurement to formalise vendor pilots and projects
Owning and delivering BPO performance presentations in Weekly Business Reviews, bringing data-backed rationale to an executive audience
Supporting the rollout of new strategic initiatives end-to-end, defining KPIs and spotting trends that drive retention and operational excellence
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 managing outsourced BPO partnerships (or eagerness to learn), including SOW creation and navigating vendor transitions
Strong financial acumen — comfortable with cost forecasting, invoice reconciliation, variance analysis and scenario modelling
Confidence working with data visualisation tools like Tableau, and a knack for turning manual processes into something scalable
Excellent stakeholder communication, with experience (or eagerness to learn) presenting operational data at WBR/MBR/QBR level and navigating sensitive conversations
We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here's just a taste:
Competitive salary
Employee Share Programme
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 the Hiring Manager
Final stage interview with a senior stakeholder panel
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.
