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.

AnyVan is moving fast, and we’re tired of "business as usual." We’re shifting from traditional, slow-mo reporting to AI-powered problem solving.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Data Analyst who treats AI (LLMs, automation, agents) as a core part of their DNA, not just a side hobby. If you’re the person who sees a manual task and immediately thinks, "How can I automate this so I never have to do it again?" you’re our person.

You’ll love this role if you’re looking for:

  • Less Grunt Work: We want you solving meaningful problems, not just pulling CSVs.

  • High Ownership: You’ll be embedded with Ops and Commercial teams to find friction and remove it.

  • Direct Impact: You build it, we use it. No red tape, just results.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

Data Intelligence & Strategy

  • Deep Dives: Use Snowflake and Tableau to interrogate our data, identifying the hidden performance drivers that actually move the needle.

  • KPI Ownership: You won’t just "monitor" metrics; you’ll be the first to spot a leak in the funnel or an untapped opportunity for growth.


AI-First Problem Solving

  • Efficiency at Scale: Use LLMs and automation platforms to 10x your output. If a task takes two hours of manual clicking, your job is to make it take two seconds.

  • Rapid Experimentation: Stay on the bleeding edge. We want you testing practical AI use cases like automated sentiment analysis or AI-driven forecasting, that drive real efficiency.

Stakeholder Partnership & Process Engineering

  • The Bridge: Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Ops to find the friction. You'll translate complex analysis into simple, structured "so what" insights for non-technical partners.

  • Influence: Help teams ditch the "gut feel" and adopt high-velocity, data-driven ways of working. You’ll help design and implement the scalable improvements we need to grow.

  • Stack Optimisation: Own and evolve the tools our commercial teams live in, reducing day-to-day friction and making sure our tech enables speed.

What You'll Bring:
  • Academic Rigour: A degree in something numbers-heavy (Maths, Stats, Data Science, or Engineering).

  • The Toolbox: 2-4 years of experience in a fast-moving business (bonus points for scale ups or marketplaces). You speak fluent SQL. Bonus points if you have Python, R, or Snowflake.

  • AI-Native: Passion for and examples of using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to automate or streamline repetitive tasks.

  • The Curiosity: You’re the person who watches YouTube tutorials on new tools just for fun. Self-learning isn't a chore for you, it's a hobby.

  • You Deliver: You have a track record of translating "complex data-speak" into "human" for stakeholders. You’re known for getting stuff done and have a "bias for action’, meaning you’d rather build a solution rather than just sit in meetings talking about one.

  • The Location: You thrive on in-person collaboration at our Herzegov Boulevard office at least 3 days a week. (The coffee is worth the commute, trust us).

  • Fully eligible to work in South Africa with valid work permits if required.

What We Do

AnyVan makes moving anything easier, more affordable and greener for everyone. Our sole objective is to use technology and innovation to improve the efficiency and experience of the entire delivery and moving process. With over 2.8 million customers across the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Ireland since launch over a decade ago, such work has made us the largest, fastest growing tech company in the logistics industry. We develop and apply leading technologies to manage supply and demand. This allows us to facilitate the most efficient journeys (routes, timings and costs) for transport providers, consumers and many recognised household brands, including TK Maxx, UniDays, Dunelm, Santander and Hunters. Sustainability is a core part of AnyVan’s mission. Using technology to help reduce environmental impact has always been at the top of our agenda. We’re proud to say we’ve achieved carbon-neutral status on all our transport moves, and we won’t stop here. In January 2022, Vitruvian partners invested £125m to acquire a majority stake in the business and provide growth capital to support our expansion, making the largest ever growth capital investment into a UK-based logistics marketplace and reinforcing our position as the UK market leader.
