About the job

OUR VISION

At Carwow, we strive to be the premier destination for car transformations. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, media, and extensive automotive knowledge, we have revolutionized the way individuals buy, sell, advertise, and lease vehicles.

What began as a straightforward review platform has evolved into one of Europe's largest online car-changing destinations. Last year, we achieved over 50% growth, facilitating nearly £3 billion in vehicle purchases and listing £1.8 billion worth of cars through our Sell My Car service.

Recently, we expanded our horizons by acquiring Carwow Leasey, a leasing brokerage, and Autovia, the creators of AutoExpress and Evo magazines, instantly doubling our audience. We now boast one of the largest YouTube channels globally, with nearly 10 million subscribers and over 1.1 billion views annually, in addition to selling 1.2 million print magazine copies and reaching an impressive 350 million users online. We are also thrilled to have launched our successful Sell My Car business in Germany. Our commitment to making Carwow the definitive choice for car changes is unwavering.

And we are just getting started!

As we pursue ambitious goals, the legal team’s role is to facilitate Carwow’s growth with integrity, and that’s where you come in!

YOUR ROLE

As a leading platform positioned between consumers and OEMs/Dealers in the car-changing process, we possess a wealth of data ripe for commercialization. As the Senior Data Protection Manager at Carwow, you will be essential in enabling our business to grow rapidly while maintaining ethical standards. This is a thrilling opportunity to advance your career within a complex, high-growth, data-driven marketplace.

We are in search of a Senior Data Protection Manager who seeks to go beyond mere policy maintenance.

We have already laid the groundwork: we currently engage an external DPO, and possess established policies, templates, a Record of Processing Activities (RoPA), and a risk register.

We need a technologically adept professional who can bridge the divide between legal requirements and practical implementation.
