Job description

THE CARWOW GROUP

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.

WHY JOIN US?

We are winners of the prestigious Culture 100 award that recognises the most loved and happiest tech companies to work for! We recently 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! As pioneers, we’re always driving for new territory and positive change, so our work as a group is never done. 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, 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 TEAM @ CARWOW

Our OEM & Media team works with 40+ car manufacturers, helping them reach millions of in‑market car buyers across Carwow, Auto Express and evo. Our Brand Partnerships Managers own those relationships. This role owns what they take to market: the products, data and tools that make our partnerships work harder for every brand.

YOUR MISSION

You’ll own the day‑to‑day development of our OEM & Media proposition, running the commercial projects that keep Carwow ahead of the industry, from data and reporting to marketplace integrations. Your job is to make sure our Brand Partnerships team have everything they need to grow their relationships with manufacturers. This is a role for a generalist project manager who loves getting stuck into intricate, cross‑functional work and is interested in the commercial side of the automotive industry. No two weeks look the same. One day you’ll be scoping a finance calculator integration with Product and Legal, and the next you’ll be building the data story for a major manufacturer pitch.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own a portfolio of projects from first idea to final delivery, using Carwow's OKR process to prioritise what will make the biggest commercial difference.


• Be the go-to person for everything happening across the OEM proposition, keeping Product, Data & Analytics, Legal and Commercial pulling in the same direction.


• Deliver the integrations that connect manufacturers to our marketplace, from OEM stock feeds and lead integrations to finance calculators.


• Own our OEM & Media data suite (dashboards, Google Sheets, automated decks and AI integrations) and keep making it better.


• Equip our Brand Partnerships Managers with the tools, collateral and best practice they need, and help bring our biggest pitches to life with data.


• Be the voice of OEM & Media on cross-functional Carwow Group projects, and help raise the team's profile across the automotive industry.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Experience in project management, proposition development or commercial operations, taking projects from a blank page to delivery.


• A track record of delivering intricate projects with lots of moving parts and lots of stakeholders.


• Seriously good organisation skills: you'll be juggling several projects at once, each at a different stage and with different people involved.


• The ability to bring people with you, influencing stakeholders at every level and keeping their priorities aligned with project timelines.


• Confidence with data and the ability to turn the numbers into a clear story.


• Clear, engaging written and visual communication, whether that's client collateral or an internal deck.

BONUS POINTS

• Commercial experience in the automotive industry, whether OEM-side, at an agency, or at a marketplace or publisher working with manufacturers.


• Experience delivering technical or integration projects with Product and Engineering teams.


• An understanding of media and advertising, such as campaign reporting, attribution or measurement.


• Curiosity about AI tools and finding new ways to automate reporting and workflows.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

• Introductory call with our Talent team


• Online interview with the Hiring Manager


• Task Interview


• Values Interview
