Anyone can use the standard rate, but the pay clears it only if the Home Office classes the job as SOC 3554. We think SOC 2494 is more likely, and the pay is too low for that code. If you are a new entrant or a PhD holder, you can use a lower rate, and the pay clears the new entrant rate for SOC 2494. On the jobs board, Standard and the new entrant rate both show roles like this as Possible at most.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

We use the lowest threshold across the plausible codes. Likelihood is Possible at most when the pay clears only a lower rate, or only under a less likely code. A mark is for the top of the advertised pay. How the Home Office picks the code
About the role
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.
About The Job
As a Performance Manager in our Brand Partnerships team, you'll support automotive brands (OEM's) and their media partners. You'll coordinate client communications, page updates, campaign delivery and reporting. Your work will keep projects on track and support the commercial success of our partnerships.
You'll use your account management skills, digital expertise and knowledge of Autotrader products and the automotive industry. You'll work with teams across the business to improve delivery and support long-term growth.
Working with clients, you'll attend kick-off calls and advise on best practices and brand store functionality. You'll lead communications on processes, timelines and creative updates. Maintaining the delivery tracker means balancing service-level agreements (SLAs) with team workloads.
You'll create and amend page designs in Figma and use tools such as Visual Studio and GitHub. Further training will help you take on more complex changes from a technical perspective, unless you already have that capability and experience, of course, which would be a bonus.
Troubleshooting covers brand store setup issues, including button labelling. Cross-referencing Looker dashboards helps ensure accurate reporting. You'll also support the creation and updating of Brand Partnership pages, reports and dashboards.
Campaign support includes checking advertising inventory and helping with setup when needed. You'll flag advertising operations (AdOps) issues that could affect launch dates and communicate revised schedules to the Brand Partnerships team. The role also involves helping automate wider AdOps reporting, using AI where appropriate.
