This is a unique opportunity for someone with a genuine passion for prestige vehicles, luxury goods and international markets, combined with strong commercial and negotiation skills. The role will involve sourcing high-value vehicles and luxury products from markets across the globe, securing the best possible purchase prices and managing the process through to delivery.
The Role
You will take ownership of the sourcing process from initial research and supplier engagement through to purchase, logistics and final delivery.
One day you could be sourcing a high-performance vehicle from Germany, the next a luxury watch from the US or another high-value product from an international market.
You will be responsible for finding the right product, at the right price, in the right market — while ensuring all associated costs remain commercially viable.
Key Responsibilities
Source prestige, performance and luxury vehicles from international markets.
Source luxury watches and other high-value and premium goods from suppliers across the globe.

Coordinate international shipping and logistics for high-value goods.
Understand and manage import and export requirements, customs processes, duties, taxes and territory restrictions.
Factor exchange rates and international costs into every sourcing decision.
Maintain accurate records of sourcing decisions, costs, suppliers and deliveries.
Monitor market movements, depreciation, availability and changes in product values.
Ensure all purchases remain within agreed budgets and provide strong commercial value.
Resolve any issues that arise during the sourcing, shipping or delivery process.
Work closely with internal teams to understand requirements and ensure products are sourced and delivered efficiently.
About You
We are looking for someone who is commercially sharp, highly organised and naturally curious, with the ability to find opportunities in markets that others may overlook.
You may have experience within vehicle sourcing or trading, luxury goods buying, international logistics, freight forwarding, import/export, procurement or a similar environment.
You'll ideally have:
Experience sourcing or purchasing vehicles, luxury goods or other high-value products.
Strong negotiation skills and a natural ability to identify value.
A good understanding of international markets and pricing.
Experience working across different currencies and understanding exchange-rate implications.
Knowledge of international shipping, customs, duties and taxes, or the ability to learn quickly.
Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
The ability to manage multiple sourcing and delivery projects simultaneously.
Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing with suppliers and partners internationally.
A proactive, commercially focused approach to problem-solving.
The ability to remain calm when dealing with complex or time-sensitive situations.
A high level of integrity, discretion and professionalism when handling high-value assets.
Desirable Experience
Experience in any of the following would be advantageous:
Prestige or performance vehicle sourcing/ trading
Luxury watch or luxury goods markets
Motor trade
Auction or broker networks
International freight or logistics
Vehicle import/export
Vehicle registration or export documentation
Vehicle homologation
A second language
Why Join?
This is a genuinely unusual opportunity to join a technology-led business operating across international markets, where you'll be working with high-value vehicles and luxury products on a daily basis. You'll have the opportunity to develop international supplier relationships, identify exciting sourcing opportunities and play a key role in building an efficient global sourcing operation.
If you have a sharp eye for value, a passion for luxury and the ability to source what others can't, we'd love to hear from you.
