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 100,000 customer enquiries each month and facilitate the purchase of thousands of vehicles through our high traffic websites and nationwide operations. We have now launched across the United States, with multiple states already operational and an ambitious plan to expand nationwide. Our rapid expansion and success have been driven by outstanding people, a strong culture, and our ability to lean into the advantages of cutting-edge technology. We are not a speculative startup. We have been established for over 15 years, are highly profitable, and have achieved this scale without external funding. Our target is bold: we are working towards a billion-dollar valuation within the next five years. Along the way, we want our growth to make a positive difference to others. We have already donated over £1 million to various charities.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Head of Data, Pricing & Commercial Analytics, you will play a key role in helping the business make smarter, faster and more informed decisions through data.

You will be comfortable navigating large and complex databases, understanding business logic, identifying edge cases and ensuring stakeholders can trust the data that drives decision making. This role would suit a commercially minded analyst who enjoys solving complex problems, challenging assumptions and continuously improving the way data is used across an organisation.
