Data Scientist @ RELAY

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

THE TEAM

Work Alongside Industry Leaders

Andy Turner – Director of Data

Andy Turner 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.

Relay’s Mission

Relay exists 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.

In This Future

Just as the internet eliminates friction from communication, Relay removes friction from the movement of goods, enabling broader participation and creating new opportunities for merchants and consumers alike.

Tech Stack Highlights

The Opportunity

As a highly operational business, we rely on data science to power every part of our network. From day one, we’ve built Relay around a deep understanding of our supply chain, using our best-in-class data assets to set strategy, improve quality, and optimise performance across every layer of the network. Our high-impact data team works across forecasting, optimisation, pricing, geospatial modelling, infrastructure planning, and more. Whether it’s planning courier capacity, guiding pitstop expansion, or improving the economics of delivery, our work directly shapes how Relay scales.

We are looking for Data Scientists to join our growing data team; these are hands-on roles with wide scope and strong exposure to decision-making. You’ll partner closely with operations, product, and commercial teams to solve practical problems with real-world impact, often working from messy datasets and complex systems, where the answers don’t sit neatly in one model. You’ll be embedded in cross-functional teams, helping drive cost, quality, and reliability across the network. If you’re motivated by fast feedback loops, strong ownership, with strong exposure to leadership, and the chance to shape a growing system from the inside out, we’d love to hear from you.
