Description
About eCarsTradee
CarsTrade is a fast-growing B2B digital car marketplace serving professional buyers in 40+ countries. Through our proprietary auction platform, we offer more than 15,000 vehicles per week, sourced from leading leasing and rental companies, fleet owners, banks, and dealerships.
After multiple consecutive years of ~45% YoY profitable growth, we are entering our next phase of European expansion.
We are looking for a Chief Operations Officer to scale the operating engine behind that growth.
The Role
Your mission:
Make operations faster, smarter, more scalable, cost-efficient and commercially effective.
As COO, you will own the operational engine behind thousands of vehicle transactions across Europe, leading Logistics, Administration, Claims, Operational Processes, and Strategic Projects.
You will also scale the operating infrastructure for our pan-European expansion — compounds, partners, borderless vehicle flows, local compliance and market-specific operations.
You will help shape company strategy and turn it into execution — setting operational priorities, implementing the OKR framework across the company, and driving measurable results.
This is a hands-on executive role. You will go deep into processes, data, and unit economics, identify root causes, and build scalable solutions rather than adding complexity or headcount.
And you will push technology hard. AI, automation, and data should replace manual work wherever they can deliver better outcomes.
The questions you should naturally ask are:
Why does this process exist? Can we eliminate it? Can we automate it? Can AI do it better? Why does this cost €X per vehicle? What breaks when volume doubles?
You will report directly to the CEO and work closely with Commercial, Finance, Product and IT. You will challenge people and existing ways of working, but do so with empathy, positivity and constructive collaboration.
