Customer Success Manager

About Us

You've probably heard of Autotrader, but do you know what we’re all about? We’re the most trusted, most visited automotive marketplace in the UK. A heritage brand and a tech innovator. 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.

We’re seeking a Customer Success Manager to join our Performance team, working closely with automotive retailers to drive engagement, performance, and commercial growth.

You’ll take a broad, strategic view of retailer performance, helping partners make the most of Autotrader’s products, insights, and capabilities to drive stronger commercial outcomes. This includes supporting digital retailing adoption, identifying opportunities to improve operational efficiency, and helping retailers adapt to changing market conditions and consumer expectations.

You will engage with a portfolio of automotive retailers, understanding their unique needs, and providing tailored support to strengthen performance, improve engagement, and unlock greater value from their partnership with Autotrader, in collaboration with their account owner.

Your role will involve analysing performance data, identifying growth opportunities, and coaching retailers to embed solutions that drive measurable results. Collaboration is key, as you will work alongside internal teams and external partners to influence and inspire retailers, ensuring they fully leverage Autotrader’s operational products. You will also contribute to the ongoing evolution of our commercial approach, helping shape how we engage with the market.

This role blends analysis, coaching, and partnership to help retailers maximise the value of Autotrader’s products and services. The automotive industry is evolving rapidly, with products and services becoming increasingly complex to implement successfully and significant shifts occurring in how manufacturers and retailers operate. This dynamic environment presents exciting challenges and opportunities, making the Customer Success Manager role at Autotrader crucial to driving success in this changing landscape.

You’ll balance proactive outreach, problem-solving, and strategic thinking, adapting to the diverse challenges faced by different retailers. Your ability to build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and work autonomously will be essential.

A commercially minded approach is important, focusing on meeting targets and KPIs while maintaining a consultative and collaborative style. Experience using data to tell a story and influence decisions will help you provide valuable insights and drive change. If you’re motivated by working in a fast-paced, evolving environment and enjoy combining analysis with hands‑on coaching, influencing and partnership, we’d love to hear from you.
