London, Greater London, United Kingdom carwow Full time
The car-changing experts for life-changing moments. Whether buying, selling, or (car) window shopping, we aim to give people total confidence in their choice.
We kicked off our journey as the ultimate matchmaker for car reviews, helping everyone pick their perfect ride. Why stop there when we could also help them get a great price?
So we decided we wanted to revolutionise selling cars, just like we did with buying them. That's when we introduced our game-changing 'sell my car' product.
We're always driving forward, and our people love what they do and love working together. We regularly fine-tune our hiring process to ensure fairness and all Carwowers receive comprehensive DE&I training.

Our Diversity Committees, led by our fantastic employees, fuel internal education, help out our local communities, and champion initiatives for our customers.

We're also Flexa100 nominated and aim to be the go-to place for changing cars.

Bonding as a team is important to us - whether we're rocking the Carwow Olympics worldwide, playing drag bingo for Pride Month, taking part in beach clean-ups or rallying on the Padel court, there's always something to bring us together.

Fancy a life-changing career from the car-changing pros? We are looking for a strong, ambitious commercial leader with an exceptional track record to join the fastest growing part of Carwow, our Sell My Car team.

Carwow launched this new service in for the first time customers looking to change their cars could list their existing cars on our site and dealers would bid for them ensuring they got the best possible price for their vehicles.

Since then we have driven phenomenal year on year growth (+83% in FY2023) while also improving profitability to the point where Sell My Car is now our biggest revenue line globally even though we are still only operating it in the UK.

Unlike traditional industry stock sourcing solutions, like trade auctions, our stock sourcing tool allows dealers to buy cars directly from owners who list them on our site.

We're very much the newest entrant and disruptor in this space and our partners tell us that in a world where used cars are increasingly hard to get hold of, they love the opportunity to access stock they might not get through part exchange.

But buying cars in this way, from platforms like us, is relatively new to the industry and so they also tell us that they value our close and collaborative working relationship that helps them (and us) to work through the challenge of operating differently.

Our ethos of working closely to support our partners is evident through our regular dealer councils and the constant high quality conversations that are a core part of this role.

Over the past year we've hired a crack commercial team with huge industry credibility and we've focused on scaling our partner network (now +66% year on year).

We believe our culture plays an important part in attracting and retaining top talent - our teams value the independence and flexibility of their roles and are amazing ambassadors for our business and products across the automotive industry.

In this role you will drive and lead every aspect of the acquisition, activation and long term engagement of car buyers on the carwow Sell My Car platform.

You'll have the opportunity to build out this new function by bringing together teams from around the business with new hires, developing the long term strategy for partner engagement, proposition and pricing and designing and implementing ways of working.

As a key member of the Sell My Car leadership team you'll help to build the business strategy, influencing the direction and approach and aligning business and customer needs with those of our partners
