About Us

CARS24 is Australia’s largest online car dealership and part of a global unicorn valued at over USD $3.3B. We’re reinventing car buying and ownership — from sourcing and refurbishing to financing, aftercare, and delivery — all through a seamless, digital-first experience.

Our expansive, 11,000 sqm Melbourne HQ in Laverton North brings together refurbishment, sales, financing, and delivery in one state-of-the-art site that powers one of the fastest-growing auto-tech businesses in the world.

And now, we’re looking for a proven leader to step in as Business Head – Melbourne / Victoria.

The Opportunity

This is a business head role where you will effectively play the role of a CEO for your market. You’ll own and drive every key function across Victoria:

- Value-Added Services & Aftercare – scale offerings like warranties, tinting, and protection
- Delivery Operations – ensure seamless last-mile handovers and customer experiences
- Future Growth – lead the planning and setup of the next facility and investments
- Cross-State Visibility – while leading Melbourne, gain influence across NSW and QLD

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the wheel at the most crucial stage of growth and act as the CEO of Melbourne’s business.

What You’ll Drive

- P&L Ownership – run Victoria’s full profit and loss, driving revenue growth and cost efficiency
- End-to-End Strategy & Ops – oversee refurb, sales, delivery, finance, and CX
- Dealer & Wholesale Ecosystem – build and maintain critical trade relationships
- Sales & Financing Growth – increase conversion across sales, finance, and ownership products
- Team Leadership – lead, mentor, and inspire a diverse team of 50+ across blue- and white-collar functions
- Data-Driven Growth – track KPIs and use insights to steer business performance
- Future Investments – play a leading role in establishing new facilities and scaling our national footprint
- Strategic Partnership – work directly with the Founder’s Team and CEO of CARS24 Australia as a thought partner in scaling the entire business

Requirements

What You’ll Need

- 8+ years’ leadership experience in P&L-heavy roles (operations, automotive, consulting or high-growth businesses and startups)
- Track record of scaling and managing multi-function teams and operations
- Strong commercial and analytical skills to interpret data, build insights, and drive action
- Ability to lead diverse teams across technical, operational, and commercial functions
- Thrives in high-growth, ambiguous environments with limited playbooks

Benefits

What’s On Offer

- Competitive base salary + 10–30% bonus

- Expansive Laverton North HQ with state-of-the-art refurb facilities, and the opportunity to lead our next facility
