The posting

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 https://www.youtube.com/carwow 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!

THE BRAND TEAM

The Brand Team is responsible for all brands within the Carwow Group. We’re an ambitious team who thrive on storytelling, performance and collaboration.

We bring our portfolio of brands to life across every channel; from large-scale campaigns to social-first paid marketing creative, events, brand identity, commercial initiatives and internal culture-building.

We move quickly, adapt often and work closely with colleagues across the whole business. Due to the scale up nature of the business you’ll enjoy a unique mix of variety, ownership and exploration.

THE ROLE

Plan and deliver integrated marketing that builds the Carwow brand and drives results, from big campaigns to always-on activity.

You’ll own campaigns from brief to results, working across brand and performance so everything we put out works hard at every stage of the funnel. You’ll brief and manage in-house creatives and agency partners, as well as working closely with performance, CRM and content teams. You’ll also use data to shape the work and prove its impact as part of a performance-focused Marketing team. Most of your focus will be the UK, with some work supporting our team in Spain.

This is a 12-month contract with real ownership. In that time you’ll establish test and learn plans across our marketing stack, run flagpole campaigns for new launches and leave behind ways of working that last beyond your time with us.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Plan and deliver integrated campaigns from brief to results, across brand and performance channels.

- Work with performance teams to improve existing test and learn plans and implement new processes where needed.

- Work with Brand Creative to bring campaigns to life and keep the brand consistent, briefing with clear insight and giving constructive feedback on the work.

- Manage campaign budgets and keep spend accurately tracked.

- Report on what worked and what didn’t, and use it to shape the next initiative.

- Support our team in Spain to adapt campaigns for their market.

- Find and test new ways of working, including AI, to plan and deliver faster.

KEY REQUIREMENTS

- 5+ years in marketing, in-house or agency, ideally at a consumer brand or scale-up.

- A track record of integrated campaigns that delivered commercial results, across brand and performance.

- Strong knowledge of ATL and digital channels, including TV, OOH, Meta, YouTube and paid search.

- Experience briefing and managing creative and media agencies.

- Comfortable with data: reading results, running tests and turning insight into action.

- Confident managing budgets and tracking spend.

- Hands-on use of AI in your marketing work, and a clear view on where it helps and where it doesn’t.

- Strong stakeholder management, adapting your style for different teams and levels.

- Able to get up to speed quickly and deliver from the start.

- Organised and calm under pressure, running several projects at pace as priorities shift.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
