The Drive

The Collecting Group (TCG) isn't your average company; we're a team of culture curators who live and breathe cars and watches. We're not just disrupting the auction industry, we're redefining it. Our brands, Collecting Cars and Collecting.com, are already leading the way, but we're just getting started. We're expanding, and we're looking for a Junior Consignment Specialist to join us in the UK based out of our London office.

You'll be joining a growing, diverse team that's currently disrupting the traditional way vehicles are auctioned. You'll help foster relationships and deliver excellent outcomes with both sellers and collectors locally and internationally, developing long-lasting partnerships, whilst becoming part of the fabric of a fast-moving, innovative company.
