Deputy Social Media Manager
carwow, United Kingdom

Want to work for the most watched car channel on YouTube in the WORLD?

Carwow is looking for a dynamic full-time Deputy Social Media Manager to join our industry-leading editorial team which produces all content for the carwow car comparison website and its associated social media platforms: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok. You’ll be working remotely for now, but we’re hoping to be back in our open-plan Victoria offices during mid-2021.

The role

The carwow YouTube channel does up to 75M views a month (that’s more than Top Gear’s YouTube channel BTW). And we have grown our subscriber base to over 5M in less than five years since our first review video went live. Oh, and all this has been achieved organically.

We’re not done yet though! We want to continue our phenomenal growth and mirror this excellence across our other key social media platforms with the help of bespoke video amp; photo assets which you’ll help to create.

So as well as working on YouTube, you’ll support the continued growth of our highly-engaged Instagram channel (with over 650k followers) as we venture into influencer collaborations, IGTV and social video content. You’ll also be instrumental in growing our Facebook, Twitter and TikTok accounts.

ABOUT carwow

Consumers face many challenges when buying a car from choosing the right one to buy, to making sure they’re getting a good deal, to figuring out all the different ways to finance it and here at carwow we aim to fix them all.

We’ve come a long way since starting out in an attic. In 2018 we were the 6th fastest growing company in Europe. In 2019 Daimler joined some of Europe’s leading venture capitalists in investing in carwow in fact we’ve raised over 55million in funding, including a successful crowdfunding scheme last year.

And we’ve set high targets for 2021 to ensure we grow even faster.

We’ve helped over 200,000 consumers buy a car, but we’re not resting on any laurels. We’re constantly asking ourselves how we can make car buying better.

The editorial team’s purpose is to raise awareness of the benefits of carwow, provide unbiased advice to our users and ultimately help people buy the right car at the right price.
