What We Offer

~2 min read

Cars & Bids is where automotive enthusiasts find, engage with, and sell great cars. We're the fastest-growing online auction platform for enthusiast vehicles from every era, paired with a scaled media business across YouTube, the #1 automotive podcast (THIS Car Pod!), social, and events that reach over 50 million enthusiasts each month. Since launching in 2020, we've hosted over 40k auctions and sold more than $850 million in vehicles.

We're hiring a Director of Finance and Operations to own the financial and operational backbone of our business. This is a hands-on role with finance at its core, spanning accounting, planning and analysis, HR administration, contracts, compliance, and the systems and vendors that keep our company running.

You'll be accountable for accurate and timely financials, understanding how the business is performing against plan, and making sure we have the processes and controls to operate effectively. Beyond finance, you'll own our core back-office functions - working with outside providers and counsel where appropriate - and look for opportunities to make the way we operate better.

This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for someone who likes taking ownership, brings order to complexity, and is equally comfortable digging into a budget variance, negotiating a vendor renewal, or improving an internal process. As we grow, so will this role - it's the senior-most finance seat in the company, with room to expand your scope as the business scales.
