Job Description

<p><strong>About Carvana&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At Carvana, we sell cars, but we are not salespeople. We have made it our mission to create a&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">hassle-free way for people to buy and sell cars. We saw a huge problem with how much of a headache it is to buy a car the traditional way, so we committed ourselves to put customer satisfaction at the core of our business, we have built a no-pressure, no-haggle online car buying experience that saves our&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">customers time and money. Customers can search through thousands of vehicles online, see full&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">360-degree views of both the interior and exterior of the vehicles before deciding to go through the&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">purchasing process. Our Customer Advocates will then either deliver the purchased vehicle to our&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">customer’s driveway using one of our kick-ass one car haulers, or they will meet our customers at one of our amazing coin-operated Vending Machines.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more information on Carvana and our mission, sneak a peek at our </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">company introduction video</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong>About the team and position&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carvana’s Market Operation department is known for its team-oriented, fast-paced environment.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We hire bright people who are willing to roll up their sleeves, step in wherever needed, mentor and develop team members, and assume additional responsibilities as needed while juggling multiple&nbsp;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">projects.
