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

• ~90 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

Work Alongside Industry Leaders

Andy Turner – Director of Data

Andy has built and led data teams across global enterprises and high growth scale-ups on five continents. He has delivered cloud native platforms, launched AI products end-to-end, and holds patents for novel machine learning applications in the UK Capital Markets. Trained in statistics at Oxford, he pairs strong technical fundamentals with clear judgement, a commercial focus, and a bias to deliver.

Jonny Dungay - Head of Data: Strategy & Growth

Jonny brings extensive experience from some of the world’s most respected teams. He has helped scale Google Cloud’s European go-to-market strategy and led multi-million-pound engineering projects at Citadel. Holding both an undergraduate and master’s degree in mathematics from Cambridge, he pairs analytical rigour with a sharp focus on delivering real-world impact, ensuring our data team operates at a world-class level.

Tech Stack Highlights

• Cloud-native on GCP with extensive use of BigQuery
• AI-first approach with Claude Code and other AI tools embedded into daily workflows
• Modern data tooling including Dagster, dbt, Cube, and Count

The Opportunity

As a Graduate Data Analyst at Relay, you will:

• Write SQL queries to analyse courier and parcel flow data, uncovering patterns and opportunities.
• Build dashboards and reports that help teams make better decisions.
• Work alongside product, operations, and engineering teams to test ideas and measure impact.
• Learn how to turn messy, real-world data into clear insights.
• Develop your technical skills through pair programming, code reviews, and mentorship.
• Contribute to projects that directly impact how thousands of couriers and merchants use our platform.

You Might Be a Great Fit If…

• You are in the final year of a degree in a quantitative field (mathematics, statistics, computer science, economics, physics, engineering, or similar)
• Some experience with SQL whether from coursework, personal projects, or internships
• The ability to structure problems and think critically about data.
• You have high agency and pride of ownership in your work, taking initiative to drive impact.
• Genuine curiosity about how things work and why.
• You value clear communication, active listening, and intentional collaboration.

We Are Looking for Candidates Who…

• Are ready to join us in Summer 2026 and able to work in our London office 4 days a week
