Full Job Description
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 The Opportunity Relay’s Last Mile network runs on couriers - tens of thousands of them, doing real work in the physical world every day. Whether each parcel gets delivered successfully depends on the decisions and behaviours of the courier on route. We're hiring for a Senior Data Analyst to own how Relay measures and improves courier excellence: how we shape what happens on the doorstep, and how we manage performance before and after that interaction. This role works with the whole of the Last Mile team and partners closely with data scientists, engineers and operators across the squad. There's a v1 of performance management already running; you'll own its evolution into something materially better. Last Mile Handover Optimisation: Every handover is a trade-off between competing outcomes - speed, quality, and risk. Moving any one of them can have knock-on effects on the others, and finding the right balan
