Become a Business Development Representative (m/f/d) at Carwow
OUR MISSION
Carwow is Europe's leading platform for car switching – we're transforming how people buy, sell, list, and lease cars. Through technology, media, and automotive expertise, we've evolved from a pure ratings platform into one of the largest online marketplaces. In 2024, nearly £3 billion in car purchases and £1.8 billion in vehicle sales were processed through our platform. With the acquisition of Autovia (AutoExpress and Evo), we've doubled our reach: 10 million YouTube subscribers, 1.2 million magazine sales, and more than 350 million annual online readers. And we're just getting started.
YOUR MISSION
You drive adoption of our used car buying platform by acquiring and successfully onboarding independent dealers and dealer groups. Through consultative selling, targeted demos, and plenty of phone power, you ensure new partners get up and running quickly, place bids, and buy successfully. You work closely with Account Management to build long-term partnerships.
