About Us >

We are the clear market leader in our sector and one of the fastest-growing car buying companies in the world. In the UK, we generate over 120,000 customer enquiries each month and purchase tens of thousands of vehicles. We have also successfully launched in the United States, with ambitious plans to scale nationwide.

 

We are a highly profitable, established business with the pace, ambition and freedom of a startup. Our goal is to build a billion-dollar business within the next 5 years.

 

The Opportunity >

Every month, tens of thousands of potential customers interact with our brands. While many convert immediately, others need further nurturing, follow-up or re-engagement. There are also significant opportunities to generate additional revenue through relevant affiliate and partner services.

 

We are looking for an exceptional Head of CRM & Lifecycle Marketing to take ownership of these opportunities and maximise the commercial value of every customer enquiry.

 

This is a high-impact role with significant freedom to develop and implement your own strategy, backed by substantial existing lead volumes, established marketing resources and a business willing to invest in ideas that deliver measurable results.

 

As we scale, an immediate focus of this role will be auditing our current setup and leading the transition toward an enterprise marketing automation platform.

 

The Role >

You will take ownership of our CRM and customer lifecycle strategy, developing automated, personalised journeys that improve conversion, reactivation and customer monetisation.

 

Your responsibilities will include:

* Lead nurturing: Develop automated journeys that maximise conversion from the initial enquiry through to booking, including customers who do not convert through our existing sales process
* CRM automation & infrastructure: Lead the selection, integration, and deployment of a
* modern enterprise CRM platform, moving our current setup from developer-focused email delivery to sophisticated, multi-channel user journeys.
* Reactivation: Identify opportunities to re-engage unconverted, cancelled and historic leads to generate additional bookings and revenue.
* Affiliate monetisation: Develop customer journeys that generate additional revenue through
* relevant third-party products and services, including vehicle purchasing, finance and other opportunities.
* Segmentation and personalisation: Use customer behaviour, intent and data to deliver highly targeted communications. AI and innovation: Identify and implement AI-driven solutions to improve personalisation, automation, efficiency and commercial performance.
* Testing and optimisation: Continuously test different approaches, using control groups and clear commercial metrics to demonstrate incremental value.
* CRM strategy: Evaluate existing systems, identify gaps and recommend improvements to our
* technology, data and communication capabilities.
* You will initially operate as a hands-on specialist, supported by our wider marketing team, including CRO, paid media and technical resources. As the opportunity develops, there will be scope to build a dedicated team.

* Strong hands-on experience with sophisticated CRM platforms, customer segmentation and multichannel automation.
* Experience working with substantial customer databases and high lead volumes.
* Excellent analytical skills and a rigorous approach to experimentation, attribution and measuring incremental revenue.
* The ability to develop strategy while remaining comfortable implementing and optimising campaigns yourself.
* A strong understanding of emerging AI capabilities and how they can improve CRM performance.
* The commercial judgement to identify and prioritise opportunities with the greatest potential return.
* Experience in automotive, comparison websites, financial services, insurance, lead generation or other high-volume consumer businesses would be particularly valuable.
* We are more interested in what you have achieved than the specific platforms you have used.
