To become the car-changing destination of choice. By combining technology, media and deep automotive expertise, we've turned how people buy, sell, advertise and lease cars on its head.
What started as a simple reviews site is now one of the largest online car-changing destinations in Europe. Last year alone we grew over 50% with nearly £3bn worth of cars bought through our platform, while £1.8bn of cars were listed for sale through our Sell My Car service.
In 2024 we went big and acquired Autovia - creators of AutoExpress and Evo magazines - doubling our audience overnight. Together we now have one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world with almost 10m subscribers and over 1.1 billion annual views, while we sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350 million.
And we’re a long way from done!
Talent @ Carwow
The Carwow Talent team is small but mighty, having facilitated 200+ hires so far in 2024 as a team of just five. Hot on the back of our $52m Series E fundraise, we’re now preparing for our next period of growth.
We’ve been optimising our ways of working and our tech stack to maximise productivity, leveraging AI and automation and using data to drive decision-making. We’re already migrating to Ashby in December and launching Metaview in January so we’ll be working with best-in-class tooling. Now we need to strengthen the team further by adding to it - which is where you come in!
As our Senior Tech Talent Partner you’ll be responsible for our Engineering, Product and Design teams, partnering with the TechLT to formulate and execute hiring strategies while promoting our brand in the industry.
Combined, these teams currently total 70 people and over the next year we expect this to rise to 100+. We also have the burning ambition to deepen our community engagement and further establish ourselves as a technology employer of choice across Europe, so we’ll be hosting and attending meetups, radically enhancing employer branding, and a lot more!
You will own this area and the business partnerships within it, establishing high-trust partnerships and operating with a consultant mindset. You’ll influence and support decisions using data and promote a culture of transparency between the Talent team and the wider business.
Bonus points:
Why this might not be for you: The Carwow Talent team pushes hard, moves fast and we are always challenging ourselves to improve. We deliver on our promises and we care deeply about Talent experience. We’re a scaleup, so naturally we’re constantly unblocking obstacles and managing moving goalposts, with high visibility from the rest of the business. This all works for us because we find it allows us to operate at our limit while continuously developing, but this can also be uncomfortable for some people and we’d rather flag this up front.
Diversity and inclusion is an integral part of our culture. We know that diverse teams are strong teams, so we welcome those with alternative identities, backgrounds, and experiences to apply for this position. We make recruiting decisions based on experience, skills and potential, so all our applicants are treated fairly and equally.
