Join to apply for the Business Development Manager role at Carwow

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 10 million customers have used Carwow to help them buy and sell cars since its inception. Last year we grew over 50% with nearly £3 bn worth of cars bought on site, while £1.8 bn 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 You Tube channels in the world with over 1.1 bn annual views, sell 1.2 million print copies of our magazines and have an annual web content reach over 350 m.

We are winners of the prestigious Culture 100 award that recognises the most loved and happiest tech companies to work for! We have just raised $52 m in funding led by global venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners (an early backer of Linked In and Shopify) to accelerate our growth plans! As pioneers, we’re always driving for new territory and positive change – where others see difficulty, we 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!).
