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
The Opportunity Relay’s network moves parcels through a chain of operations: First Mile, Sortation, Middle Mile transport, Pitstops, and Last Mile delivery. The efficiency of that chain determines our cost per parcel - and Middle Mile and Sortation are where some of the biggest operational levers sit.
As Lead Data Analyst for Middle Mile & Sortation, you will own the analytics that drive efficiency across four of Relay’s most operationally complex domains, from First Mile through to Pitstops. Middle Mile connects our Hybrid Sort Centres to Pitstops. Sortation is what happens inside the warehouses - a mix of operatives and robots working together to process thousands of parcels daily. Both domains are rich with data, full of trade-offs, and directly tied to unit economics.
This is a player-coach role. You will lead a small team - the Middle Mile & Pistops Analyst and the Sortation & First Mile Analyst - setting direction, providing coaching, and creating the conditions for them to do excellent work. But you’ll also be hands-on yourself, building models, digging into data, and solving hard problems directly. When something complex needs figuring out, you’re in the work, not just reviewing it.
Relay operates a centralised data team, with analysts embedded into squads across the business. You will work with the Middle Mile & Pitstops, and Sortation & First Mile squads, but report into the centralised data team. You’ll be the analytical voice at the leadership table, influencing priorities, making trade-offs explicit, and shaping where the squad focuses its efforts.
This role reports to the Data Analytics Lead.
