* UK Based role (Holborn , London), but can speak German *

We are heycar.

Since August 2019, we’ve been raising the bar for customers looking for their next set of wheels, and car dealers looking to sell them.

With Global investment from Volkswagen, Allianz and Renault, we bring the best and most trusted dealerships across the UK closer to their customers. How? By making the right connections. We provide customers with the confidence they need to buy quality cars online in a completely remote experience.

We’re building a culture that allows team members to feel challenged and empowered to make some serious changes. We may have different backgrounds, industries and skills, but we’re all driving towards the same goal.
