We aim to improve the process of buying and selling vehicles in the UK, by continually evolving the ecosystem to provide a better experience for consumers, retailers and manufacturers alike.

About us

You’ve probably heard of Autotrader, but do you know what we’re all about?

We’re the UK’s leading automotive marketplace, a heritage brand, and a tech darling of the stock market. We bring together vehicle buyers and sellers to give them real choices. Cars may be what we’re best known for but we’re also the place for pretty much everything else on wheels, from e-bikes to caravans.

In the automotive world, change is a constant, that’s why we take our job of untangling the complex car-buying journey very seriously.

At our core, we’re all about people. We go our own way while embracing diversity and celebrating our differences. We dedicate ourselves to the idea that we work better together.

Autotrader is a beautiful, surprising and vibrant place to work. We might not be for everyone, but we could be perfect for you.

About the job

We’re looking for a Benefits Manager to join our People & Culture team on a FTC until 31st October 2026. 

In this role, you’ll take ownership of our employee benefits offering by designing, delivering, and evolving programmes that are inclusive, competitive, and aligned with our values and the needs of our people. 

As the benefits subject matter expert, you’ll lead the day-to-day management and strategic development of core benefits, including private medical insurance, group risk, pensions, flexible benefits, wellness initiatives and leave policies. You’ll work closely with internal teams and external providers to ensure a seamless experience and continually look for ways to improve engagement and value through data, feedback and market insight. 

You’ll oversee the full lifecycle of our annual benefits enrolment, from communications and provider renewals to system updates and colleague support, ensuring everything runs smoothly and is clearly understood. You’ll also manage provider relationships, monitor service levels, and lead the tendering process for new benefits, defining objectives and  advocating strong governance and outcomes. 

Communication is a critical underpin to the success of our benefit programmes. You’ll help shape and deliver communication strategies that build awareness and maximise the impact of our benefits year-round. This role is also the escalation point for complex benefit queries, offering expert advice and support to colleagues and the wider People & Culture team. Collaboration is key, so you’ll proactively work with our people partnering team, to adjust programs and policies in line with legislation. You’ll oversee the collaboration with payroll and our people admin teams to ensure process governance and data accuracy. 

There is also the opportunity to manage our benefits administration team, helping them grow, develop and deliver great service to our people. 

During our application process, you will be asked two questions to help us learn more about you and how you align with our values. These will be used as part of our selection criteria, to determine if we progress your application further.

What we’re looking for

  • Experience working in a benefit or reward manager role.
  • Strong knowledge of employee benefits legislation and regulations in the UK.
  • Experience with People Systems, particularly with benefits administration systems.
  • Strong analytical and negotiation skills.
  • Experience leading the design and delivery of an annual benefits enrolment.
  • Great communication and collaboration skills, with confidence to influence and work with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Excellent written communication style, enabling you to clearly communicate complex information. 

Benefits

We’re offering a salary of £50,000 – £65,000 dependent on experience.

You’ll have 28 days holiday per year, and that’s in addition to bank holidays and half day closures on Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

That’s not all. You’ll be enrolled in our pension scheme, where our standard contributions are 7% and employee contributions are 5%. We also have comprehensive private medical cover, enhanced family leave provisions, a car salary sacrifice scheme, share-save options, and much more.

We always want to give you the support you need and help prioritise your wellbeing, that’s why we provide access to 24/7 online GP and dentist, as well as specialist support for assisted fertility, gender dysphoria, menopause, period care plans and lots more.

On top of all that, our hybrid model, Connected Working, combines the best of both worlds – office and home working. You’ll have two fixed weekly office days for team collaboration and one more of your choice to suit your work-life balance.

Additionally, we have our remote-first periods at set times during summer and winter. During these periods, you can work remotely anywhere in the UK and from certain locations abroad.
