OUR MISSION
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 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 - 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 350million.

And we’re a long way from done!


YOUR MISSION
Following the successful launch & growth of the Sell-My-Car online auction platform in the UK, in 2025, we are bringing this service to the German Market. Sell-My-Car is an online used car auction, enabling consumers to advertise their used cars for sales, for authorised car dealerships to bid and buy these vehicles. Offering sellers a convenient method to sell their old car, for a fair market price, while offering dealerships an efficient way to source used car stock for a competitive fee. We are looking for a high performing Sales Manager to come in and lead our team of brokers, whose job is to work with potential sellers to list their car for sale in our online auctions and then work to negotiate offers to achieve vehicle sales to our partnered dealerships.

Our German team launched in February 2025, with some team members already established. But we have plans to continue our team expansion and are looking for a leader who can be part of helping us achieve our sales goals to fuel & contribute towards our growth plans.
