Carwow Group is driven by a passion for getting people into cars. Not just any car, but the right car. We are building the go-to destination for car-changing, reaching drivers everywhere with our portfolio of automotive brands: Carwow, Auto Express, evo, Driving Electric, and Car Buyer.

Starting as a simple reviews site, we are now one of Europe's largest online car-changing platforms, with over 10 million customers since inception. Last year, we grew over 50%, with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought on our site, and significant listings through our Sell My Car service.

In 2024, we acquired Autovia, doubling our audience. We now boast one of the world's biggest YouTube channels with over a billion annual views, publish millions of print copies of our magazines, and reach over 350 million web content viewers annually.

WHY JOIN US?

We are winners of the Culture 100 award, recognizing the most loved and happiest tech companies. We recently raised $52m in funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners to accelerate growth.

As pioneers, we drive for new territory and positive change, building new experiences, launching new titles, and listening to drivers. Being part of Carwow Group means championing drivers and the automotive industry, acting as a disruptor, and embracing failure as a learning opportunity.

Our team of 500 employees across the UK, Germany, Spain, and Portugal is revolutionizing car-changing, expanding our mission across all brands and countries. Join us!

THE ROLE

This role oversees the core of our Get Your Car business, balancing supply and demand to ensure excellent transaction experiences across new, used, and leasing products. Success depends on generating high-quality traffic and matching vehicle supply accordingly, with accountability for both.

The role involves identifying underperformance and holding teams accountable, monitoring and reporting on trading metrics, diagnosing issues, and driving corrective actions. It is a cross-functional position working with leadership, marketing, finance, and product teams to meet business goals and share best practices across regions.

The Head of Trading will also serve as an internal UK representative, advising the UK Director on strategic directions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own trading performance, monitor key metrics, and communicate with executive and broader teams.
• Lead forums and act as the UK’s representative in the absence of the Country Director.
• Diagnose issues and drive resolution activities.
• Implement actions to improve performance across the organization.
• Ensure trading targets and profitability are met within planned investments.
• Collaborate with marketing, analytics, and product teams for optimal outcomes.
• Work with product teams to enhance user experience, balancing dealer and customer needs.
• Identify and implement commercial practice improvements.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Excellent communication skills across all company levels.
• Proven ability to build relationships with C-suite and influence decisions.
• Track record of improving team efficiency and executing successful strategies.
• Extensive leadership experience, with ability to motivate and develop teams.
• Strong partnership and influence skills across functions.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
• Driven, goal-oriented mindset.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

• Competitive salary, pension, share options, private healthcare, and more benefits.
• Generous holiday allowances, including special days for life events.
• Work flexibility, including working abroad options.
• Inclusive policies supporting parental leave, fertility, and wellbeing.
• Latest tech equipment and home office allowances.
