Location: We have offices in London, Manchester, Bedford and Hook. Most of our Product & Engineering teams are based in Manchester but we are actively expanding our presence outside of Manchester. We welcome applicants from across the UK who can work in a hybrid model. Subject to government guidance, this hybrid working model will expect employees to spend a few days a month in the office alongside colleagues, while the others can be worked from home. You'll typically have a base office, which is the one that is closest to you.

Selection process: this will typically involve an initial chat with one of our recruitment team followed by a selection of competency-based interviews with stakeholders and the hiring manager.

Building the right workplace: Feel you would be good for this job but don't meet every single requirement? We know some people can be put off applying for roles unless they can tick every point on the job description. We want to build an inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't perfectly align, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be who we're looking for.

cinch and Rewards

cinch's benefits programme sees that our people are supported both in and out of work. That's what a faff-free life is all about. We offer:

• Competitive salaries and bonuses

• A company pension scheme

• Private Healthcare (Bupa)

• An Employee Assistance Programme

• Access to trained mental health first aiders

• Enhanced maternity, paternity, and adoption leave

And so much more

cinch and you

In making the most out of a career at cinch you need to be curious, creative, and collaborative. See, we are putting you in the driver's seat, in control of your career and ready to drive your own development. There's no bureaucracy, no hierarchy, just an environment with values that bring us together and a purpose that sets us apart. Join us as we continue to accelerate, defy expectations, and revolutionise an entire industry

Diversity and Inclusion

cinch wants to help all kinds of people in the UK find and buy a car. So it makes good sense to have all kinds of people working with us on the challenge. Conversations and the decisions they lead to are better for featuring different voices. Representation matters.

And doing your job while not being your authentic self is not faff-free. Being free to be the best of who you are as you soar to professional greatness is the kind of business we commit to creating, as one.
