Getaround est la plateforme d’autopartage leader dans le Monde avec une communauté de plus de 5 millions d’utilisateurs se partageant des milliers de voitures dans plus de 300 villes aux Etats-Unis et en Europe.

L’app Getaround permet aux citadins qui ne possèdent pas de voiture de réserver un véhicule instantanément, que ce soit pour quelques heures ou quelques jours, directement de leur smartphone.

Créée en 2009, la startup a connu une très forte croissance: elle est maintenant présente dans 8 pays et s’est récemment étendue en Europe avec l’acquisition des startups d’autopartage Drivy et Nabobil.

Le siège est à San Francisco et l’équipe possède des bureaux à Paris, London, Berlin, Barcelone, et Oslo.


We believe in a world where all cars are shared. Carsharing empowers people to get going in a smarter, easier way, while also having a positive impact on the environment and making cities more liveable. It’s this vision that propels us forward and inspires us to think even bigger.

We’re the world's leading carsharing platform with a community of more than 5 million users sharing over 11,000 connected cars across 8 countries.

Our team is collaborative, positive, curious, and engaged. We think fast, work smart, laugh often, and are looking for like-minded people to join us in our mission to disrupt car ownership and make cities better.

Your Mission:

  • Getaround works with all types of car owners, from the private car owners (willing to offset the cost of their cars), to professionals of the automotive industry, putting hundreds or even thousands of cars on the platform. We also partner more and more with municipalities (Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bruxelles, Oslo, etc.) to provide on-street parking spots which improves the customer experience.

  • Lead strategic discussions with OEMs, car rental agencies, car dealerships, car sellers and more generally, key players of the automotive sectors, and find the adequate partnerships to attract them to the Getaround platform.
  • Grow relationships with the municipalities to obtain carsharing-friendly mobility schemes and affordable parking spots for our owners.
