Company mission
Drover offers monthly, all-in car subscriptions to customers who want to experience flexible car ownership at a fair price. Drover's mission is to build the world’s category-defining car subscription business.
Our take
Car ownership has remained largely unchanged in past years: you either own one, rent one for short periods, or choose to rely on public transport/taxis.
Ownership hasn't been particularly broken, but Drover has seen an opportunity to provide a new category: pay for your car on subscription, with an ability to cancel with seven days of notice.
Drover takes out a lot of hassle of owning a car: they sort out insurance, maintenance, tax and breakdown cover. Customers no longer have to think about the quality of the car they buy, or selling it second-hand later.
It's a hard business model to pull off, having to integrate closely with partners (car manufacturers, fleet partners, dealers, etc).

The pace of change and constant growth offers a huge opportunity to learn within Drover. You will be coached by very intelligent and experienced leaders in the field but also be involved in projects that you would not in a classic corporate employer for years. These projects are ultimately shaping the business day by day and you are a part of that.

We have in the last couple if years recruited many employees at Manager, VP and C Suite level bringing incredible expertise in the tech field (ex facebook, ex google), automotive (ex BMW, ex Hertz, ex Enterprise) and consultancy (ex EY, ex Accenture). They can teach you incredible things both about the tech world but also the car/mobilty world along with operational efficiency and people management. You will be having lunch with these people, conversing on the regular and maybe could be on their team or direct report :)

Drover has changed car ownership within the UK and is one of the businesses that have pioneered in the field of car subscriptions. Yes others have tried it but not like Drover. The model is brilliant, the product is brilliant and the operations are constantly growing and improving.
