About you
You are an experienced, personable, outgoing vehicle consignor with a passion for classic cars and a proven track record in an automotive sales environment. You thrive when picking up the phone to call potential clients, asking people to part with their vehicles at auction, or simply gathering feedback on our services.

You are detail-oriented in your work and able to follow a process and record interactions within a CRM. If you have direct experience with auction sales and a book of contacts then we’d love to speak to you.

About the role
You will start by reaching out to your existing contacts and prospecting new leads from customers who have classified ads on our site and trying to get them to list their vehicle on our auction platform.

You will manage your vehicles through all stages of the pipeline and ensure customers receive the best possible service. Previous classic car auction experience is highly important and full training will be given to candidates on all the systems.

About us www.carandclassic.com
Car & Classic is one of the largest automotive marketplaces in the world. We’re lucky to have thousands of user-generated listings submitted monthly with content gems from James Bond’s Aston DB5 to Elvis Presley’s Cadillac. The site is old, launched in 2005 but under new, VC-backed ownership since 2018 and on an exciting triple-digit growth journey to bring classic vehicle transactions online.

Our culture is incredibly important to us. We’re lucky enough to have built the team from scratch with a focus on enjoying the day-to-day, diversity, inclusion and high performance.
