MOVING YOUR CAREER FORWARD

Our CEO, Angus spotted that many vans on the roads are half full or empty at any given time and so AnyVan was born in 2009 to create the world’s most efficient technology logistics platform and help halve the number of miles driven.
We’ve achieved incredible milestones since then, including securing the largest funding round for a UK tech logistics company from Vitruvian Partners. Today, AnyVan is the largest and fastest-growing company in the logistics space, with big ambitions for the future.
We’re committed to moving that’s miles better and have helped over 8 million customers across the UK, Ireland and Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) and over 150,000 customers have rated us excellent on Trustpilot.
By using innovative technology, we’re transforming the moving experience, cutting costs and doing our part for the planet to make sure moving doesn’t cost the earth. We’ve saved enough miles to travel 1,185 times around the world, reduce 8520 tonnes of carbon annually and are proud to be the only carbon neutral removals and delivery company in the UK!!!
We’re looking for passionate individuals to join our talented team of approx. 300 AnyVanners in our London and Cape Town offices. If you’re as driven as we are and want to be part of a forward-thinking company to make moving ‘miles better’ and moving your career forward at the same time - we’d love to hear from you!
Our innovative tech stack is a key part of how we can deliver a world class service at market beating prices. By intelligently matching customer’s jobs to driver’s availability, we can better use vans on the road. This smart allocation allows us to constantly lower prices for our customers, while ensuring our drivers get a fair slice of the pie - all the while cutting miles driven, reducing waste and emissions.

But we’ve only just started! Over the next few years, we’ll be levelling up our platform, building tech which allows us to:

• Better understand the cost to fulfil jobs, allowing us to price more accurately for our customers.
• Build a deeper relationship with our drivers - becoming a key part of their workflow, and better understanding which jobs are a great fit for them and even explore new business opportunities.
• For example, buying and selling non-AnyVan jobs between drivers to help them best use their time.

We’re an agile organisation - while most of our teams use scrum with two week sprints, we’re not prescriptive and encourage engineering and product managers to adapt processes to match their team.
We strongly believe in delivering business value, and our senior engineers will regularly interact with stakeholders from all backgrounds and seniority.
