Sales Manager

Carwow Group is driven by a passion for getting people into cars. But not just any car, the right car. That’s why we are building the go-to destination for car-changing. Designed to reach drivers everywhere with our trail-blazing portfolio of personality rich automotive brands; Carwow, Auto Express, evo, Driving Electric and Car Buyer.
What started as a simple reviews site, is now one of the largest online car-changing destinations in Europe - over 10m customers have used Carwow to help them buy and sell cars since its inception. Last year we grew over 50% with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car service.
In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia, doubling our audience overnight. Together we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with over 1.1 billion annual views, sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350million.
We have just raised $52m in funding led by global venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners (an early backer of LinkedIn and Shopify) to accelerate our growth plans
Where others see difficulty, it’s our responsibility to see possibility – building new experiences, launching new titles and listening to drivers.
Being a part of Carwow Group means championing drivers and the automotive industry, acting as a disrupter and never being afraid to fail (but learning fast when we do).
Our team of 500 employees across the UK, Germany, Spain and Portugal are revolutionising car-changing and we are fast expanding our mission across every single brand and country we operate in, so jump in
OEM & MEDIA @ CARWOW
Our team is committed to positioning CG as the foremost commerce media group and strategic collaborator within the automotive sector. The OEM & Media team is instrumental in constructing CG's retail and media offerings for both automotive manufacturers and advertising agencies. Through daily engagement, the team forges robust partnerships encompassing brand development and awareness, consumer consideration, sales generation, and direct-to-consumer collaborations. As a Digital Agency Sales Manager, you will be instrumental in driving revenue growth and building lasting relationships with media agencies. You will work closely with the Agency Lead and Media Director and be responsible for developing and executing effective media strategies, delivering exceptional client service, and contributing to the overall success of the team.
You will be used to owning big projects and balancing both short term opportunities and a longer term strategic view for your area and accounts. You’ll take a hands-on approach to supporting the exponential growth aspirations of Carwow Group.
Be responsible for delivering advertising revenue targets by focusing on the already well-established pipeline and proactively building successful media proposals for media agency partners and clients directly.
Develop stronger and more consistent relationships with key media agency partners across their business through frequent review meetings and co-developed processes to achieve an ‘always-on’ position.
Understand and research key performance metrics and strategies by brand to build bespoke data-driven, advertising proposals.
Ensure Carwow is always front of mind for Agency Planners, Buyers, Strategists, as well as Business Directors with the target of establishing CG as a core media partner.
Work collaboratively with the Agency Lead to strive for and recommend ways for the continuous improvement of the media proposition, in collaboration with our product and design teams.
Ensure that media agencies are well served and given insightful, clear and timely reporting on ongoing projects for media agencies and clients.
Be adaptable - our media agency proposition is tailored, native and data-driven - it’s more than just selling standard IAB formats. Have knowledge of the media agency world - ideally with strong experience working as an Account Manager or similar role within an agency, or working closely with media agencies in a publisher/media owner ecosystem.
Have a successful track record in closing and delivering large, advertising deals with a customer and data centric approach.
Monitor quarterly bookings and pipeline against personal and team targets using accurate Salesforce reports.
Comfortable with handling & analysing data, and a profile that enjoys a data-driven sales environment.
