Job description

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.

Behind the scenes of our fast-growing logistics marketplace lies a symphony of ever-shifting supply, demand, and humans who really, really want their stuff delivered.

That’s where you come in.

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Pricing Data Scientist who’s part ML‑engineer, part economist, part storyteller, and fully obsessed with building models that make complex systems behave beautifully.

If tuning state-of-the-art ML pricing systems, experimenting your way to insight, and shipping high-impact products sounds like your kind of fun… hop in, we saved you the front seat. 🚛

What you’ll be doing:

🎯 Build and evolve our ML pricing engines

Design, evaluate, and productionise smarter, more robust pricing models that help AnyVan make better decisions—and make our marketplace happier and healthier.

🧪 Run adaptive experiments like a scientist (because you are one)

Implement systems that dynamically learn from customer behaviour so our pricing constantly adapts to a living, breathing, ever‑changing marketplace.

🛠️ Create new data science products

Spot opportunities, shape solutions, and deliver tools that upgrade business processes and make data impossible to ignore.

📣 Translate the complex into compelling

Turn model decisions, findings, and technical trade‑offs into clear, engaging stories for stakeholders across the business—no decoder ring required.

What you’ll bring:

• Solid experience in a pricing role in a fast moving consumer business

• Deep comfort with Python (pandas, scikit‑learn, etc.) and SQL

• An analytical mindset paired with exquisite attention to detail

• Creativity and pragmatism when tackling business problems

• Communication skills sharp enough to cut through noise, whether to engineers or execs

Bonus points for…

• A track record of delivering real-world ML solutions

• Exposure to causal modelling, uplift modelling, or policy evaluation

• The ability to operate independently in a fast‑paced, occasionally chaotic, always exciting environment
