📋 Description

• As a Sales Executive (German Speaker) at Carwow Ltd, you will play a pivotal role in Europe’s leading automotive marketplace, directly contributing to the company’s mission of transforming how people buy, sell, advertise, and lease cars. With nearly £3 billion in vehicle purchases and £1.8 billion in sales processed through the platform in 2024, your work will support a rapidly growing, technology-driven business that has expanded its reach through the acquisition of Autovia (AutoExpress and Evo), now serving 10 million YouTube subscribers, 1.2 million magazine readers, and over 350 million annual online users. You will be a key link in the sales chain, ensuring seamless transactions between private sellers and partner dealers, thereby driving customer satisfaction and platform success.
• Your day-to-day responsibilities will include advising private sellers on how to sell their vehicles effectively via Carwow’s ‘Sell My Car’ platform, proactively connecting them with verified partner dealers to facilitate smooth and trustworthy transactions. You will manage end-to-end communication across multiple channels — including phone, email, and WhatsApp — to guide sellers through each step of the process, from initial inquiry to final handover, ensuring timely responses and minimizing drop-offs. You will actively monitor deal progress, troubleshoot obstacles, and follow up persistently to maximize conversion rates, acting as the critical human touchpoint that turns interest into completed sales. Additionally, you will gather feedback from both sellers and dealers to identify process improvements, contribute to refining sales scripts and best practices, and maintain accurate records in the CRM system to support forecasting and performance tracking.
• You will join a dynamic, international sales team based in Porto that operates at the forefront of Carwow’s B2C and B2B engagement strategy. The team is deeply embedded in the company’s scale-up culture, combining automotive expertise with digital sales innovation to deliver exceptional partner and customer experiences. Collaborating closely with Business Development and Account Management, you will help scale the seller acquisition funnel while maintaining high standards of service quality. The team values initiative, resilience, and a customer-first mindset, fostering an environment where bold ideas are tested and learning is continuous.
• In this role, you will develop advanced consultative selling skills tailored to the automotive sector, gaining deep insight into consumer behavior, market trends, and dealer dynamics. You will sharpen your ability to interpret behavioral cues, leverage data to prioritize high-potential leads, and adapt communication styles across diverse audiences — skills that are transferable to senior sales, account management, or business development roles. You will also build expertise in CRM tools, sales automation, and performance analytics, positioning yourself for growth within Carwow’s expanding European operations or future leadership opportunities in tech-driven sales environments.

🎯 Requirements

• Fluency in German (spoken and written) at a professional level, with strong communication skills to engage confidently with private sellers and partner dealers across various channels.
• Proven experience in sales, preferably within automotive retail, car dealerships, or a comparable B2C/B2B environment, demonstrating ability to build rapport, manage pipelines, and close deals.
• Genuine passion for the automotive industry, with up-to-date knowledge of market trends, vehicle valuation factors, and evolving consumer preferences in the European auto market.
• Strong analytical mindset, capable of using data and performance metrics to identify sales opportunities, assess risks, and optimize outreach strategies.
• Hands-on mentality, high self-motivation, and resilience to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic scale-up environment where adaptability and ownership are key.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation package including base salary and performance-linked incentives, designed to reward success in driving seller conversion and platform growth.
• Generous time off: 28 days of annual leave plus public holidays, increasing to up to 35 days with tenure, alongside additional leave for life events such as relocation, marriage, and more.
• Employee equity participation through a Share Options scheme, allowing you to share in Carwow’s long-term success and growth.
• Monthly coaching and mental health support via Spill, promoting well-being and professional development in a supportive work culture.
• ‘Work from abroad’ program enabling up to one month per year of remote work from another country, supporting flexibility and global mobility.
• Substantial learning and development budget to pursue courses, certifications, or conferences aligned with your career goals.
• €500 home office allowance to equip your remote workspace effectively.
