Sales Executive - Sell Your Car

Job Description

About carwow

Buying or selling a car shouldn’t be difficult! That’s why here at carwow we are on a mission to change the way people buy, sell or use a car by creating the world’s best online car marketplace. We're not all petrolheads - just a highly driven (excuse the pun) scale-up with over 300 carwowers in the UK, Germany, Spain and Portugal .

Since starting our journey in 2011, we’ve grown to become one of the most trusted comparison sites with over 12 million users and a Trustpilot rating of 4.7. We are also very proud to be backed by some of Europe’s most respected technology, marketplace and automotive investors.

Carwow has recently acquired Wizzle, a car selling comparison website that helps sellers achieve a competitive price for their car with the minimum amount of effort. We work with a number of online car buyers to compare offers for an instant sale and offer them to advertise their car to our network of trusted and approved car dealers. By using our simple to follow guided car appraisal app we help add trust and transparency to used car selling, so that the price customers are quoted is the price paid by our dealers. Car buying is one of the last areas to be revolutionised by the internet - here at carwow we’re leading the online revolution.

Working here

At carwow, we aim to create a culture where our team can thrive no matter where or how they work. With hybrid working (Minimum 2 days in either our Bournemouth or London office depending on your location, with the option to work the rest from home) and a healthy home office budget of £500, we are also open to looking at alternative working patterns to ensure carwowers can work in a way that works best for them. You will be required to work Monday to Friday 9-5.30pm along with one in four Saturdays a month (day off in the week).

We’re also a curious bunch and benefit from a number of different training opportunities. We are big on celebrating successes, working collaboratively and have found lots of ways to stay connected as a team both virtually and in person.

With a team of over 25 different nationalities, we know a diverse and inclusive workforce creates a more innovative company. We have work to do to get us where we’d like to be, but are working hard to get there and have a number DE&I initiatives underway.

So, if you always aim to WOW through everything you do, we’d love you to join us on our journey.
