Video Producer

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.

As a Video Producer at Autotrader, you’ll help shape how our stories are told through multi‑platform video output. You’ll develop, produce, edit and deliver standout content across You Tube, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and our onsite channels. Acting as both a creative and strategic producer, you’ll lead the full creative journey, developing ideas, shaping narratives and bringing them to life through hands‑on production.

You’ll support scripts, direct and shoot content, and edit with a strong sense of pace, tone and visual style. You’ll collaborate closely with writers, presenters, editors and social teams to turn insights and ideas into videos that feel fresh, relevant and unmistakably Autotrader.

You’ll own how our content shows up across platforms, adapting each piece for different audiences, formats and behaviours — whether that’s short‑form social, mid‑form editorial or longer You Tube storytelling. From framing and flow to thumbnails, captions and titles, you’ll make creative choices that help content land and keep people watching.

This role is perfect for someone who cares deeply about craft, loves experimenting with ideas, and wants to help define a growing video identity. You’ll use performance insight to learn what resonates, but creativity comes first — with curiosity, collaboration and continuous improvement at the heart of everything you make.
