Become a Commercial Operations Working Student at Carwow!
OUR MISSION
We want to become the first point of contact for changing cars. With a combination of technology, media, and a deep understanding of the automotive sector, we have already turned the way people buy, sell, market, and lease cars upside down.
What started as a simple new car comparison platform is now one of the largest online marketplaces for changing cars in Europe. In the last year alone, we have grown by over 50%, with vehicles worth over €5 billion bought, leased, or auctioned through our portal.
In 2024, we doubled our reach overnight with the acquisition of Autovia – the platform behind AutoExpress and Evo magazine. Together, we are now one of the largest YouTube channels in the world, with nearly 10 million subscribers and 1.1 billion annual views. In addition, we sell 1.2 million copies of our print magazine and reach over 350 million people annually with our web content.
And we are far from finished.
