<p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era.</strong> 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</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Relay’s Mission is</strong> to <strong>free commerce from friction</strong>. 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 <strong>more goods move more freely between more people</strong>, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>THE TEAM<br /></strong>• <strong>~110 people</strong>, more than <strong>half</strong> in engineering, product and data<br />• <strong>45+ advanced degrees</strong> across computer science, mathematics and operations research<br />• <strong>Thousands</strong> of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle<br />• An intellectually vibrant culture of <strong>first‑principles thinking</strong>, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>About the Role</strong></p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Most Commercial roles ask you to do one thing well and do it forever, Relay is built differently.
