Job description

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.

About the job

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 YouTube, TikTok, 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 YouTube 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.

What we’re looking for

• Broad experience shooting and editing premium automotive content
• Ability to shoot high‑quality video content in a fast‑paced environment
• Strong cinematography skills with experience operating a variety of video and audio equipment, including gimbals, sliders and drones
• Demonstrable post‑production skills, including colour grading, sound design and familiarity with multi‑cam timelines
• Experience using camera rigging systems in an automotive setting, including mini‑cams and clamp and suction systems
• Experience working with tracking vehicles
• Good knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and animation skills
• Adaptable, proactive and able to push boundaries in challenging situations – reacting to ever‑changing circumstances
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the UK and worldwide, with flexible working hours (including occasional weekends)
• Competent photographer – able to shoot YouTube thumbnails and additional photography assets
• Experience shooting native, creative content for social platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

Benefits

We offer a competitive base salary plus an additional 10% of your salary awarded in shares each year. You’ll have 28 days holiday per year plus bank holidays, and private medical cover. Our pension scheme has 7% employer and 5% employee contributions. We provide a hybrid working model – a minimum of 3 days a week in the office – and remote options during set periods in summer and winter.

Apply for this role

To apply, please submit your CV and a link to your portfolio or recent work examples highlighting your video production experience and social media content. We look forward to seeing how you can contribute to the Autotrader video team.
