About the team
The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) team was established in 2021 in Carwow ES and is one of the fastest-growing areas within carwow. The team's focus is on building close and strategic relationships with all car manufacturers, their media agencies and planning partners. Commercial projects include data-first, native on-site digital advertising activities, data and audience sales among a variety of innovation projects, including branded content to help manufacturers and their agencies reach consumers in a more effective and efficient way.
About the role
In this role, you will work directly with the Head of OEM to be a key point of contact for media agencies and responsible for building deep, lasting partnerships between both parties. You will be responsible for all things related to media and data for agencies, as well as media proposals for clients. Be responsible for delivering advertising revenue targets by focusing on the already well-established pipeline and proactively building successful media proposals for media agency partners and clients directly.

Work collaboratively with the Head of OEM to strive for and recommend ways for the continuous improvement of the media proposition, in collaboration with our product and design teams.
Ensure that media agencies are well served and given insightful, clear and timely reporting on ongoing projects for media agencies and clients.
