We are heycar
Since August 2019, we’ve been raising the bar for customers looking for their next set of wheels, and car dealers looking to sell them.
With global investment from Volkswagen and Renault, we bring the best and most trusted dealerships across the UK closer to their customers by making the right connections. We provide customers with the confidence they need to buy quality cars online in a completely remote experience.
We’re building a culture that allows team members to feel challenged and empowered to make some serious changes. We may have different backgrounds, industries, and skills, but we’re all driving towards the same goal.

About the role:
We’re looking for a car expert with superb industry knowledge and contacts to produce videos, copy, and content across various heycar channels. In addition to heycar, you’ll also get to showcase your skills on our two other platforms: HonestJohn.co.uk and BuyaCar.co.uk.
What you’ll do:
- Be socially savvy: As we continue to grow our social media presence, you’ll be a cornerstone of its strategy, helping to develop and create on-brand content for the heycar audience to enjoy.
- Be at ease in front of the camera: Whether it’s a quick 30-second reel or a longer-form piece of video, you will be just as comfortable talking to the camera as you are writing content.
- Represent the brand: You will be required to attend events across the UK and Europe regularly, forming opinions on the latest cars and forging strong relationships within the motor industry.
- Know your cars: You’ll be writing in-depth consumer-focused reviews of all the latest cars and vans on sale. Ensuring we are on the latest car launches and driving key models as soon as possible is essential.

- Be bristling with ideas: Contribute ideas for new content, tools, calculators, and other features that will help and delight our users and readers. You’ll also have a hand in PR campaigns and the news agenda on Honest John.
- Be able to own a project: You’ll be responsible for delivering key content projects from inception and planning to any CMS work and getting it live. Once live, you’ll ensure the content is further optimized and useful to our users.
- Know your way around a CMS: You’ll be familiar with CMS systems and eager to maximize the impact of your editorial.
- Understand SEO and what it means for content: As well as creating content, you’ll be a key figure in optimizing current content to ensure it ranks highly.
- Commission and manage freelancers/third parties working on projects and ensure that those projects are run on time and to budget.
What you’ll need:
- Content Experience: You will be adept at producing content that gives our users and readers clear, easy-to-understand advice when it comes to buying and owning a car. You’ll have at least five years of online writing experience and can turn out copy quickly and accurately.
- You will be familiar with - and have opinions on - all the major car models on sale today.
- You will have good working relationships with every major UK manufacturer press office.
- The drive and determination: You’ll be eager to make progress quickly and solve problems proactively.
- A love for explaining often complex issues in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way. You’ll be flexible and able to adapt your writing style for each of our websites.
- Hands-on, proactive, and positive outlook. You have the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously with good time management skills.
What we’ll give you:
- Compensation: We offer a competitive salary + bonus.
- Holidays: Enjoy 28 days off (plus bank holidays) throughout the year, plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday!
- Hybrid Working: We have a flexible working culture with hybrid working in our offices in Holborn (London) and remote working days.
- Benefits + Perks: Private medical insurance, learning and development opportunities, mental health support, and more.
- Feedback: You'll be joining more than just another startup; our team is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage honest feedback.
- A Challenge: Fast-paced but not fraught. We’re scaling fast, so we need you to keep up, push back, and question where you see fit.
- Fun: We provide a fully stocked kitchen and bar, table tennis, roof terrace, and epic socials!
