Digital auction platform for collectible cars, bikes, and automobilia
Collecting Cars operates a global digital auction marketplace for automotive collectibles, having facilitated over 27,000 completed transactions and £1.2 billion in sales since 2019. The hiring profile is heavily sales-skewed (15 of 18 active roles), concentrated in mid-level positions, with pain-point data flagging consignment-to-auction pipeline friction and specialist workflow bottlenecks—suggesting the platform is scaling transaction volume faster than internal processes can handle smoothly.
Collecting Cars runs a digital auction platform for collectible cars, motorcycles, and related memorabilia, competing against traditional in-person auction models. The company operates through a curated marketplace with 370,000+ registered members and deploys a proprietary 7-day settlement process to compress transaction timelines. Operations span multiple geographies—the UK (headquarters in London), China, France, Australia, Germany, and Sweden—with local specialist teams embedded in key markets. Current growth initiatives center on expanding market reach, refining sales strategy, and addressing operational bottlenecks in the consignment workflow.
Core stack includes Salesforce (CRM), AWS Step Functions and n8n (workflow automation), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), Python (backend), and OpenAI/Anthropic (AI services). Creative tools span Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One for asset curation.
