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 Chairman 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.

Join our Allocations team at AnyVan, where you'll be right at the heart of the action using your blend of problem solving skills, sales/negotiation skills and logistics knowledge with our Transport Providers (TPs) to ensure every job is covered efficiently and profitably and create value for all parties.

What you’ll be doing:
Joining the Allocations team you'll be the go-to person for keeping things moving, literally! Here’s what you’ll be getting stuck into:

  • Make sure all our jobs are allocated by proactively reaching out (mostly by phone) to our TP's to pitch the available jobs to them.

  • You'll need to own the allocation process, manage pipelines and assign jobs to TPs in a way that keeps them engaged and motivated.

Stay on top of your TP network and build solid relationships;

  • You'll know who’s available, what vehicles they have, where they are, what jobs they can cover, and their rates and margins

  • Make sure they’re getting the kind of work that suits their needs so they stay active and loyal to AnyVan

  • Have good commercial and influencing skills to negotiate competitive rates that work for AnyVan, our customers, and our TP's.

  • Manually create ‘routes’ and schedules for transport partners consisting of multi-job loads.

  • Manage and monitor job routes to make sure everything runs to schedule.

  • Jump in when things don’t go to plan to resolve issues quickly by working closely with both TPs and customers to find smart, timely solutions and handle last-minute cancellations or failures by re-allocating the jobs (this is where you're relationships and knowledge of you TP base really comes in to play)

  • Handle key admin tasks like checking proof of delivery and keeping in touch with customers.

  • Hit your targets, not just on numbers, but on the way you work too (top-notch customer service, strong communication, etc.).

Performance will be measured through the following key metrics:

  • Job allocation success – speed, efficiency, and profitability of transport partner matching.

  • Premium spend % – minimising excess payout by aligning jobs with optimal pricing strategies.

  • On-time delivery & client satisfaction – ensuring transport jobs meet or exceed service expectations.

  • Transport partner engagement – satisfaction, availability, and performance consistency.

  • Cancellation Ratio - 0% cancellation of jobs due to non fulfillment.

  • Build great relationships across AnyVan. You’ll work closely with teams like Sales and Customer Services to share operational insights and improve overall service delivery.

What you’ll need to succeed: 

  • Experience in a commercial contact center/transport broker, transport coordinator, or live control/logistics role.

  • Bonus points if you have knowledge of the UK/EU market.

  • A commercial approach; You know how to build trust-based relationships and can negotiate with TPs in a way that works for both them and the business.

  • You're a confident communicator who knows how to work well with both internal teams and external partners.

  • Targets don’t scare you; You’re comfortable working towards them and hitting your goals.

  • You’ve got strong Excel skills and can pull together accurate, insightful reports to help drive smarter decisions.

  • Self-motivated, emotionally intelligent, and resilient, you stay cool under pressure and adapt easily when things change.

  • You’re super organised with an eye for detail.

  • A proactive attitude and a history of getting things done at a fast pace.

  • Strong alignment with our company values and excited about making an impact.

  • Currently living in a commutable distance to our offices in the Central Business district and happy to be based onsite 5 days a week and can work weekends and evenings on a rotational shift pattern.

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.
