Senior Product Manager

carwow is the most convenient, stress-free way to find and buy a new car, at a price you can be confident in. carwow aims to solve the major pain points that buyers and dealers experience in the buying process, putting them in a more powerful position than ever before. Offering buyers crucial price confidence, a more convenient hassle free way to find and buy the car they want, and an altogether better buying experience. And it’s great news for dealers too. Through carwow, our dealer partners sell more cars than they could in the showroom alone, while reducing cost inefficiencies and increasing stock turnover. This means they can pass on great prices to carwow buyers.We’re a driven, energetic startup with a team of 140+ based in central London and Munich. We are backed by Europe’s leading VCs including:- Balderton Capital (Betfair, LOVEFiLM, Citymapper, MySQL)

– Accel (Facebook, Spotify, Dropbox, Groupon)

– Vitruvian Partners (JustEat, Skyscanner, Trustpilot)

– Episode 1 (Zoopla, Shazam, LOVEFiLM)

– Samos (Ocado, Betfair, PKR)

We’ve raised over £48m in funding since we launched, so we’re growing fast. We’re relentlessly driven and constantly asking ourselves how we can make carwow better. If you’re proactive, motivated, and want to help us change the future of car buying, get in touch. It’s the chance to be at the start of something huge.
