Director of Product

Company Overview

Are you ready to help us shape the future of automotive e-commerce? At Drivvn, we're on a mission to transform how people buy and lease vehicles and we'd love for you to be part of it. As proud winners of the Culture100 Award, we're recognised not just for our innovation, but for putting our people at the heart of everything we do.

Since launching in 2020 as part of the TCC Group, we have been working with major automotive brands like Stellantis, Ford, Volvo, and Volkswagen to deliver seamless digital retail experiences. More recently, we've expanded into vehicle leasing, collaborating with forward thinking partners such as MHC and Leasys.

Our platform supports the entire automotive sales and leasing journey, from vehicle configuration to financing, with real time integration and omnichannel capabilities that put the customer in control. Our platform handles millions of real time pricing calculations and inventory updates, integrating deeply with OEM systems, DMS platforms, and finance providers.

We're currently focused on the European market, but we're thinking big and have exciting plans for global expansion. In FY25, we generated over £8 million in revenue and we know that our success is all thanks to the brilliant people who make up our team.
