SalaryAbout Auto Trader
We’re Auto Trader, the UK's leading automotive marketplace and a FTSE 100 tech-listed company, uniting the largest and most engaged consumer audience with the most extensive network of vehicle sellers. At our core, it's all about people. We embrace diversity, celebrate our differences, and forge our own path. Our six core values define our distinct culture, and our dedication to in-person collaboration sets us apart.
About the job
We're looking for Customer Support Advisors to join us.
As a Customer Support Advisor, you will be the first point of contact for our automotive retail customers (B2B).
You may think a love of cars is a must to work at Auto Trader, but it's not. A passion to deliver exceptional customer service is what we look for.
Every customer is different having unique goals, business models, pain points and targets. With curiosity, resilience, and empathy, you will get to know your customer. Using effective questioning, listening, and objection-handling skills you will provide an outstanding customer experience every time.
Queries will range from billing queries to new product requests. You will communicate with customers through inbound and outbound calls and emails.
Where first-time resolution is not possible, you will display your ability to take ownership by working with internal colleagues to problem solve.
It isn't only about answering queries. You will apply root-cause analysis to improve processes, educate customers, and influence digital change in the automotive industry.
To help our customers achieve their goals, you will understand current and future needs, highlight growth opportunities, and mitigate potential risks. You will work with our Account Managers and help the team to achieve commercial objectives.
You can learn more about why our Customer Support Advisors enjoy their role here.
What we're looking for
- Experience delivering exceptional customer service where you have supported external customers and have handled complex queries in an empathetic way
- Experience in providing customer service over phone, email and/or live chat
- Curiosity to ask questions. This is to allow you understand the customers' needs and identify revenue growth opportunities or risk
- You are customer focused and passionate about offering first-class experiences
- You will have experience achieving KPI's and delivering positive results within agreed SLA's
- You will be comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced commercial environment
- You will be able to multitask and manage conflicting priorities when needed
- You are solution driven and get satisfaction seeing problems through to resolution
- You have great written communication skills and excellent attention to detail
As you will be the voice of Auto Trader, it is also crucial that you have an engaging communication style and are great at building relationships with customers.
At Auto Trader, we believe that every candidate brings a unique blend of talents. If you find yourself ticking some, but not all, of the requirement boxes, we'd love to hear from you.
Benefits and more
We're offering part and full-time roles. You can share your desired workings arrangements with us at the application stage and throughout your recruitment journey. Please note, we would be able to support a minimum of 22.5 hours across 3 full days, or on a reduced hour basis across 3+ working days.
We're offering a salary of £23,400 - £27,000, and a flexible benefits package to support your health and well-being.
Enjoy 28 days of annual leave, in addition to bank holidays and half-day closures on Christmas and New Year's Eve. Our Aviva pension scheme offers employer contributions ranging from 5% to 7%. We also provide Bupa Healthcare enhanced medical coverage to all employees, which includes support for assisted fertility, gender dysphoria, menopause, and period care plans.
But that's not all. We offer enhanced parental leave, a car salary sacrifice scheme, share-save options, and much more.
