About The Job

We’re looking to recruit a Marketing Analytics Manager to be based out of our Manchester campus. This newly created opportunity is more than just a research role. It’s a rare chance to lead on how we understand, track, and influence the perception of one of the UK’s most recognisable brands. You’ll work at the intersection of brand, marketing, and analytics, helping us to truly understand our consumers and drive smarter decisions with stronger results.

You’ll lead our consumer and brand tracking studies, helping us understand how people perceive Autotrader and what drives their car-buying decisions. You’ll turn data into actionable insight, translating complex findings into clear, compelling narratives that influence our brand strategy, messaging, and media planning. By working closely with our research, media, and analytics teams, you’ll ensure our approach is insight-led and continuously evolving.

You’ll also help build a story about how consumers use our site and inform product decisions. This role connects data and strategy, helping us land our consumer story across the business. You’ll collaborate with internal stakeholders (including our product, finance and marketing teams) as well as external media agencies to guide decision-making, optimise marketing spend, and ensure consumer data lands across the business.

If you’re passionate about understanding what makes brands tick and how data can shape perception, strategy, and success, we’d love to hear from you.

What We're Looking For

• Experienced leading complicated workflows which involve multiple stakeholders and sources of data
• Confidence and a strong history of using data to drive marketing decisions
• Experience working with media measurement tools (e.g., Nielsen, Brandwatch, or similar platforms)
• Experience working with senior stakeholders across a business (including C-level)
• Understanding of media planning, brand tracking methodologies, and performance marketing
• Strong Excel skills, with experience handling large datasets and creating reports
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex data in a clear and actionable way
• Strong collaboration skills across multiple teams and agencies

Though not essential, it would be a plus if you had any of the below:

• Proficiency in analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar
• Experience in marketing analytics, brand insights, and media performance
• Experience collaborating with research, media agencies and partners to gather insights and drive marketing strategy
