About Plug
Plug is the marketplace for used electric vehicles. Consumers get an instant cash offer backed by battery-health data, and dealers across the US bid in real time on that inventory. Former Tesla executives founded Plug in 2023. We’ve facilitated over $150M in EV sales and raised a $20M Series A led by Lightspeed Venture Partners.

Why Plug

• You’ll own a piece of the biggest infrastructure opportunity in automotive.

• You’ll work on a platform built exclusively for EVs, with nothing adapted from legacy automotive.

• You’ll be part of an AI-native company. We’re rethinking how work gets done at a fundamental level.

• You’ll work directly with operators who have scaled multi-billion dollar businesses in automotive, EV, and marketplaces.

• You’ll have real ownership, high autonomy, and a direct line to company outcomes.

The Opportunity
As a Plug EV Buyer, you’ll join the acquisitions team and source inventory from the public and our dealer partners. EV Buyers run every step of the sale: valuations, negotiations, inspections, purchasing, and post-sale work. You’ll help move the auto market toward sustainable transportation.

You’re analytical and interested in automotive, especially EVs. You set goals and chase them without being pushed. You talk easily with people at every level of the company.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Handle inbound leads and value EVs.

• Analyze market data and spot trends that reduce risk.

• Evaluate vehicle condition to price accurately.

• Convert inquiries at a high rate while staying profitable.

• Guide customers through each step of the sale as their single point of contact.

• Contribute to individual and team projects and see them through to completion.

• Handle multiple deals at once and look for ways to improve how we work.

What You’ll Bring

• Up to 5 years of relevant experience.

• Strong analytical and market research skills. You can judge vehicle value, demand, and pricing trends, and you’re comfortable in spreadsheets and CRMs.

• Clear communication, strong customer service, and the ability to work across teams.

• Close attention to detail, sound judgment, and quick decisions under pressure.

• Auto auction experience as a used car buyer or in estimating vehicle damage is a plus.
