Wholesale & Disposals Associate

CARS24 is a global Used Vehicle e-commerce platform company offering an Amazon-like experience where you can search, purchase, get financing and arrange delivery entirely online.

As a Wholesale & Disposal Associate, you will be part of a leading team in the eCommerce used car industry within Australia.

You will be a key part of our value chain - ensuring the cars we buy are what we expect and how we dispose of cars we no longer require. You'll bring a deep understanding of car presentation, as well as a solid understanding of typical mechanical defects - having been involved in the automotive industry previously. While formal mechanical qualifications would help, a broad automotive knowledge would be acceptable.

You will be required to produce timely reporting and we would highly value your ability to problem-solve and analyse large amounts of data.

The right mindset and cultural fit are critical in our consumer obsessed, dynamic, entrepreneurial, data driven, collaborative start-up, with a huge ambition to transform how cars are sold in Australia. The trust you help us build with our customers will change the way an industry has operated for decades.
