Marketing Automation Specialist

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 of over 350 million.

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 have just 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, Germany, 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!

ABOUT THE TEAM

Marketing Automation sits in the Growth Marketing team, which is responsible for running our paid marketing activity, driving trading performance, and orchestrating campaigns both for Carwow and our advertising partners. The role will report to our Senior Growth Marketing Manager.

ABOUT THE ROLE

• Experience of working with a Data & Analytics team to establish data collection and measurement frameworks, and to be able to report on campaign performance
• Ability to manage our day-to-day requirements to ensure experiences are prioritised and activated promptly
• Experience of profiling audiences to determine/interpret behaviours and propensity to convert
• Experience running training and workshops and producing reports for key stakeholders and the wider business, translating technical concepts to non-tech audiences
