Job description

Got Drive? Join AnyVan as we make moving anything, anywhere miles better and build a career that moves just as fast.

Back in 2009, our CEO Angus saw half-empty vans everywhere and knew there had to be a better way! That's how AnyVan began. He set out to create the world's most efficient logistics technology and help halve the number of wasted miles by filling those empty vans.

Since then we've become the nation's favourite way to move, with over 150k five-star reviews and 5 million customers in the UK and Europe. Our team of 400 AnyVanners across London, Cape Town and Bogota is proving that moving doesn't have to cost the earth by helping save 8,520 tonnes of Carbon each year.

We are looking for a Growth Specialist to execute alongside our senior leaders and run the projects that matter most to our global expansion. You won’t be boxed into a specific geography, a single channel, or a swim lane. Instead, you operate as an execution fixer: you will deploy wherever the highest-leverage growth opportunities are, working in tandem with marketing, product, sales, and operations to turn hypotheses into real, commercial results.

Working closely with our Director of Growth, you will be a vital driver behind our most critical initiatives.

We aren't looking for coordinators to manage agency timelines, format status decks, or update ticket backlogs. We need a commercial operator who brings analytical agility, a fierce bias for action, and zero fear of moving fast in the gray area.

This is the ultimate blend of sharp execution and directly driving the plot forward early in your career.

The core of the role:

• Own the Outcome: You are responsible for hitting the targets inside your current project. If a blocker pops up, you don't wait for permission or an instruction manual, you collaborate across teams, find a workaround, and keep moving.
• Seek the Paths that Scale: We focus on the chunky things that have a material impact. You’ll help ship experiments fast, read the immediate feedback loops, and help build the foundations for repeatable growth playbooks.
• Commercial Focus: We don't live in a world of vanity metrics. Your success will be measured on hard outcomes: volume of users acquired, conversion rates, CAC efficiency, and revenue generated.
• Using AI vs talking about it: We are an AI-native team. You won't be using it just to tidy up copy or format slides; you will use AI tools creatively from day one to execute execution tasks in minutes that take traditional teams days, maximizing your velocity.

What you'll be doing:

• Executing critical campaigns: Take ownership of driving specific, high-priority customer segments. Examples could be launching a localized acquisition campaign, building the machine to acquire SMEs, or owning the playbook to rapidly scale student acquisition.
• Creating leverage across teams: You won't be siloed in marketing. You’ll work alongside product, sales, and operations to ship experiments, gather feedback, and ensure your growth sprints are delivered smoothly.
• Interrogating the data: You will live in the numbers. While we have data experts, you need to be comfortable pulling and manipulating raw performance data yourself to find out why a campaign is or isn't converting.
• Moving at pace and taking intelligent risks: You'll build and ship a scrappy V1 of an idea today, look at the data tomorrow, and iterate. You don't stall out waiting for perfect information, you learn by doing it for real.
• Please note we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role at this time.

Skills and experience you'll need:

• A startup mindset: Must have experience working in a fast paced b2c scale up or start up. 3+ years of experience in growth, performance marketing or Business Operaitons. Side hustles or personal building projects are a massive plus.
• Commercial fluency: You understand the connection between execution and the bottom line. You are highly analytical and comfortable diving deep into a spreadsheet to track campaign economics.
• Broad curiosity: You aren't a deep expert in one are of marketing and you don't want to be pigeonholed as just a copywriter or just a paid social manager. You have broad exposure across the full stack of growth and commercial levers.
• Obsession with speed: You love seeing your work go live immediately. You get genuinely frustrated by slow corporate approval chains and unnecessary red tape.
• Act like a founder: Self-motivated, comfortable with pressure, and ready to roll up your sleeves to get things done, vs a ‘but that’s not my job’ vibe.

Location and Eligibility:

• UK based, able to commute to our offices in Hammersmith
• Happy to be onsite at least 3 days per week
• Please note we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this position
