    Motorway is the UK’s fastest-growing used car marketplace — our online-only platform connects private car sellers with thousands of verified dealers nationwide, ensuring everyone gets the best deal.

    Founded in 2017, our award-winning, technology-led approach has redefined the experience of selling a car, generating thousands of monthly car sales and helping us to grow to a team of over 250 across 4 locations.

    Motorway is now valued at over $1 billion and is backed by some of the world’s leading technology investors, having raised £143 million in Series C funding.

    This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing scale-up at a crucial phase of growth and help change an industry for the better

    We're transforming an industry and we're looking for people who want to change how cars are sold in the 21st century through ground-breaking products and best in class technology. With a few taps, customers can compare instant offers from online car buyers and dealers, select their best offer and sell fast. By removing the traditional steps in between we help everyone get the right deal, quickly. We have helped thousands of people value and sell their car already, and this is just the beginning.

    There are so many ways to sell your car, it can be overwhelming. At Motorway, we’re focused on building the best way. Unlike your other options, we won’t make you choose between price and convenience – you can have both, with no extra effort. We’ll guide you through the process to get a great result.

    Our mission is to create a market inspired by truth, transparency, and fairness. Our passion and commitment to this drives everything we do, and has helped us build a diverse team with world-class talent across the globe.
