Listings Writer - Remote

About you

You’re a detail-obsessed writer with a genuine passion for cars. You take pride in accuracy, clarity and craft, and you understand that great listings don’t just describe vehicles, they build confidence, tell a story and drive buyer action.

We’re a fully remote team of builders, dreamers, and petrolheads using tech to connect enthusiasts with the machines that move them. If you’re driven by passion and curious about shaping the future of classic motoring online, you’ll fit right in.
