This company is hands-down the hottest logistics scale up in Europe, taking the industry by storm and growing at an astronomical pace.


Every parcel that moves through their network generates thousands of data points. Those data points feed forecasts, optimisation models, and an increasingly autonomous AI marketplace. The Data Analysts in these roles turn that raw signal into the decisions that run the operation day to day, working embedded within the company's core functions.


If you're a data analyst who wants real ownership and to be at the heart of something genuinely transformative, this might be for you.


🛠️ Examples of what you could be doing:

  • Investigating cost and workforce trade-offs across First Mile, Sortation and Middle Mile operations
  • Monitoring forecast accuracy and catching model drift before it hits the business
  • Building the reporting layer that gives finance and commercial clients visibility into what's actually happening
  • Defining the metrics for entirely new services and expansion markets where none exist yet
  • Translating messy operational data into dashboards and recommendations people actually act on


✅ What they're looking for, broadly:

  • Strong SQL, comfortable across the analytical spectrum from fast descriptive work to more rigorous modelling
  • Strong data visualisation experience with tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Looker etc.
  • People who want to understand how an operation actually works, not analyse it from a distance
  • Confidence communicating with non-technical stakeholders, and translating data into decisions people act on
  • 3+ years experience for Analyst level; 5+ for Senior and Lead


👍 Bonus points for:

  • Experience with dbt and modern cloud warehouses (BigQuery experience is a strong plus, not a requirement)
  • Experience working within logistics, marketplace or operational analytics exposure
  • Python proficiency for automation and data manipulation
