Reward Manager

Company Description
**Are you ready to be a big part of something big?**

At carsales, we're all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 25 years we've been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow.

When it comes to your career, we want to provide big opportunities to help you make a big impact. But for this to be possible, we strive to feel small. Small enough to quickly change tack, small enough to learn from different departments and small enough to connect authentically with leadership.

Not something you'd expect from one of the country's biggest tech companies, is it?

And one of the best parts? We give you the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits your lifestyle - Office, Hybrid or Anywhere.

This is your opportunity to join a fast paced business and make your mark in shaping the reward offering across the company.
