Hybrid, Tangmere, West Sussex

Are you a commercially astute professional with a sharp understanding of legal and operational risk with a passion for operational excellence? Do you thrive in a fast-moving environment where your work genuinely makes an impact? If so, we want to hear from you.

We are the clear market leader in our sector and one of the fastest-growing car buying companies in the world. In the UK we generate over 100,000 customer enquiries each month and book in tens of thousands of vehicles over the same period through our high-traffic websites and nationwide operations. We have now launched across the United States, with multiple states already live and an ambitious plan to expand nationwide.

Our rapid expansion and success have been driven by outstanding people, a strong culture, and our ability to lean into the advantages of cutting‑edge technology. We are not a speculative startup. We have been established for over 15 years, are highly profitable, and have achieved this scale without external funding. That gives us both security and momentum – and yet, despite our size, we have kept the excitement, energy and ambition of a startup. Our team is collaborative, ambitious and relentlessly driven to be the best and most exciting place to work in our sector.

Our aim is bold: to build a billion‑dollar valuation within the next five years. Along the way, we want our growth to make a positive difference to others. We have already donated over £1 million to various charities, and as we scale, so too will our donations.

We offer a great base salary but the real game changer is what comes over the longer term. Because of the huge opportunity for growth in the US, we intend to explore opportunities to provide equity in the business for those who make an exceptional impact in driving this expansion. We want the people who help us achieve our most ambitious goals to share directly in the value they create. This can result in genuinely life‑changing benefits as the company continues its growth journey.

We are looking for a Head of Risk, Compliance & Procurement to take full ownership of the compliance, legal, and safeguarding functions across our dynamic, multi‑faceted business, while also leading and supporting cross‑departmental and project management initiatives that drive operational improvements and business efficiency.
