carwow - Business Development Executive
Requirements
• Please note: We know no candidate will tick every box, so if you feel you’re a strong fit but not an exact match, we’d still love to hear from you. Ideally, you’ll have: • Experience in a similar role within the automotive retail industry (essential). • A driven, hard-working mindset with the ability to adapt to change in a fast-growing, scale-up environment. • A hunter mentality with a passion for prospecting and developing new partnerships. • Strong influencing and negotiation skills, with proven business development experience. • Confidence in working with data to spot opportunities and risks, and to support growth strategies (without needing to be a data expert). • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the flexibility to adapt to different audiences. • Ability to work with CRM tools, such as Salesforce.
Responsibilities
• Sign up new dealers and drive adoption - bidding and buying - on the Sell My Car platform. • Generate new business via cold outreach and inbound leads, primarily over the phone, with occasional field visits when required. • Identify and develop opportunities to upsell additional services such as transport, wallet, stock funding, and other upcoming propositions. • Approach potential partners and build strong, long-term business relationships. • Collaborate with the Account Management team to ensure a smooth handover once accounts are up and running, and support in reactivating dealers who have become inactive. • Deliver engaging and persuasive pitches at all levels—from GMs and Group Buyers to Business Owners and Sole Traders. • Maintain accurate records in the CRM and manage data effectively.
Benefits
• 28 days' holiday plus bank holidays, increasing to 35 with length of service, plus extras for house moves, weddings and more! • Employee-friendly share options • Pension scheme via Royal London - up to 5% company contribution • Vitality private healthcare insurance • Monthly coaching sessions with Spill - our mental wellbeing partner • Inclusive parental, partner and shared parental leave including up to 20 weeks' full pay maternity and shared parental leave, and 8 weeks' full partner pay, as well as fertility treatment and pregnancy loss policies • Bubble childcare support and discounted nanny fees for little ones • 'Work from abroad for a month' annual scheme • Generous learning and development budget • £500 home office budget • Diversity and inclusion is an integral part of our culture.
