Data Analyst - Network
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 network runs on forecasts. Every day, models predict how many parcels will arrive, which ones to sort tonight, how many shifts to release, and how many bags each route needs. When those predictions are right, operations run smoothly. When they drift, the cost shows up fast: routes cancelled from a dimensions model that shifted, surge premiums from under-predicted volumes, wasted capacity from over-forecasting.
As a Data Analyst in the Network squad, you will monitor and interrogate the performance of every model the squad owns - demand forecasts, collection predictions, parcel dimensions, shift planning, and demand management allocation. The focus is analytical oversight rather than model building: Is accuracy holding? Where is bias creeping in? Which clients are the models struggling with? Why did Tuesday's forecast miss by 12%? When something is off, this role involves in...
