Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era. Backed by Europe's largest-ever logistics Series A ($35M), led by deep-tech investors Plural (whose portfolio spans fusion energy and space exploration), Relay is scaling faster than 99.98% of venture-backed startups. We're assembling the most talent-dense team the logistics industry has ever seen

Relay's Mission is to free commerce from friction. Today, high delivery costs act as a hidden tax on e-commerce, quietly shaping what can be sold online and limiting who can participate. We envision a world where more goods move more freely between more people, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone.

The Team

• ~110 people, more than half in engineering, product and data
• 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research
• Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle
• An intellectually vibrant culture of first‑principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation
• Own the analytics for customer-to-customer delivery: define what metrics matter, identify bottlenecks, and present recommendations to senior leadership
• Partner with the Data Science team on geographic expansion: identify highest-potential areas for growth and build the analytical foundation for investment decisions
• Work with finance to set ramp plans, targets, and success metrics for new locations
• Analyse profitability drivers across the network to understand where expansion is working and where it isn't
• Work across squads to understand how new services affect routing, sortation, first mile, middle mile, last mile, and marketplace
• Define KPIs for new service types where no established metrics exist
• Translate ambiguous business questions into analytical frameworks - and analytical results into clear recommendations
• You take ownership of ambiguous problems and don't wait to be told what to analyse next
• You're comfortable working across teams and building relationships with people in operations, product, engineering, and finance
• You can define what success looks like when there's no playbook to follow
• You translate complex data into clear recommendations that non-technical stakeholders can act on

• You have at least 5 years experience, ideally with some exposure to data science, finance or commercial
• You communicate clearly and aren't afraid to present findings to senior leadership
• You do well in fast-moving environments where the questions change as the business evolves
