Sales Coordinator

2025 is an exciting year to join the Drive team, a business wholly owned by Australia’s largest media organisation, Nine Entertainment with extensive reach across all media channels including TV, digital, social, print and radio.

The Drive vision is to create the future of Automotive in Australia. This is delivered via our simple, all-encompassing three C’s strategy – Commerce, Comparison and Commentary. Commentary covers the deep knowledge, editorial authority and advice Drive provides for consumers. We are industry leaders in this space. Our team of motoring experts review and drive every car in the Australian market and understand the needs of consumers and brands more than anyone.

Comparison is a growth area where we bring together industry data and expert recommendations to further help consumers compare cars based on their preferences, spec v spec, side by side. And lastly Commerce, our most exciting growth opportunity. Here is where we can help close the research loop and connect consumers directly to the cars they are able to buy now, via our Drive Dealer network.

Having full service automotive capability under one roof will differentiate Drive amongst its competitors in the future. We are a driven and forward-thinking team who love the automotive industry.

Culturally, we strive to inject equal doses of creativity, smart knowledge, and fun into everything we touch.
