Partner Acquisition Specialist

OUR MISSION

To become the car-changing destination of choice.

By combining technology, media and deep automotive expertise, we’ve transformed how people buy, sell, advertise and lease cars.

What started as a simple reviews site is now one of Europe’s largest car-changing destinations. Over 10 million customers have used carwow to buy and sell cars, with £3bn worth of cars bought and £1.8bn listed for sale last year alone.

In 2024, we acquired Autovia — creators of Auto Express and evo — doubling our audience overnight. Today, our brands reach over 350 million users annually and generate 1.1bn+ YouTube views, influencing how millions of drivers choose their next car.

And we’re a long way from done.

GYC ADVERTISING @ CARWOW

This role sits within GYC (Get Your Car) Advertising, a fast-growing commercial team responsible for building Carwow’s Used and New Car Advertising business.

The two markets are at very different stages:

New Car Advertising is a mature, high-performing product with strong market fit and limited competition.

Used Car Advertising is an emerging channel — competitive, fast-moving, and still being proven.

We operate like a startup within a startup:

small team

high ownership

evolving products and processes

limited structure by design

As a BDR, you’ll help build the foundations of this business by creating high-quality outbound pipeline, shaping how we approach dealers, and defining what “good” looks like from the ground up.

YOUR MISSION

Your mission is to create qualified pipeline from cold outbound outreach, focused initially on Used Car Advertising, and set the sales team up to win.

This role is not about closing deals or working warm leads.

It’s about discipline, resilience, and learning — building strong sales fundamentals in a fast-moving, high-accountability environment.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Generate outbound pipeline (Used-first)

Cold-call and message independent dealers and retail groups

Open relevant commercial conversations about Used Car Advertising

Book qualified meetings only for BDMs

Qualify before you book

Ask structured discovery questions

Understand dealer context (stock size, sales velocity, appetite to invest)

Disqualify early when there’s no fit

Build strong sales fundamentals

Learn how carwow demand works

Develop an understanding of used-car dealer economics

Improve messaging and objection handling through repetition and feedback

Operate with discipline

Hit clear daily and weekly activity targets

Maintain accurate CRM records

Protect BDM time by avoiding low-quality meetings

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Comfortable with cold outreach and rejection

Clear, concise communicator

Able to follow structure and process consistently

Curious about how businesses make money

Coachable and open to feedback

Resilient and focused under pressure

BONUS POINTS

Previous outbound sales or customer-facing experience

Exposure to automotive, marketplaces, or performance-led products

Desire to progress into more senior commercial roles over time

WHY THIS MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU

If you’re looking for inbound or warm leads

If you dislike repetition and outbound activity

If you prefer closing over qualifying

If you need heavy structure and certainty from day one

FINAL NOTE

This role is ideal if you want to learn outbound sales properly, build real commercial skills, and progress over time into broader Used and New Car Advertising roles.

If you’re resilient, curious, and ready to build from scratch, we’d love to talk.
