Senior Car Buyer / Senior bilinköpare

About Carla
We are building the most convenient, transparent and easy way to buy or lease an electrified vehicle online. Our aim is to turn one of life’s potentially biggest financial decisions - getting a car - into something truly enjoyable, and at the same time help consumers make more sustainable choices. Carla was founded in 2020 in Stockholm, with strong VC backing. We are now in an exciting growth phase looking for a Senior Car Buyer.

About the role

Our goal is to redefine what it means to get an electrified car, and we can only do that by having an attractive car inventory. Given the current situation in the world, this is a challenge for the whole industry. We do have strong partnerships in place that will help us, but are looking for a person who can drive the crucial work of deciding what car to buy, at what price, taking into account our costs, margins, and expected market prices. Also, you will play a key role in our continuous inventory/price adjustment processes. Typical tasks will include:

- Hands-on evaluate purchase offers of cars in auctions, bulk purchases, and from consumers
- Make purchasing decisions and develop decision making tools together with our tech teams
- Seek out new partnerships and drive them towards success
- Help develop and set our purchasing, price and inventory management processes


Your profile

We are looking for a hands-on doer, who is not afraid of taking action backed by facts, numbers, and experience. You'll be joining a team with lots of skills in consumer technology, analytocs, and consumer/retail selling, and we hope you complement us with deep knowledge about purchasing cars - mixing data with experience. We expect you to have at least 3-5 years of relevant work experience from buying cars, have strong references, and a track record of both facing and managing challenges without giving up. Since our focus is exclusively on electrified vehicles, we hope that you're fluent in everything from Tesla key knobs, Zoe battery sizes, and ranges on T8s.

Our company moves extremely fast, but we are also keen on doing great work and delivering amazing customer experience. This requires a flexible mindset, being a self starter, but also a positive mindset and being able to have fun with your colleagues!
