Who we are At CarGurus (NASDAQ: CARG), our mission is to give people the power to reach their destination. We started as a small team of developers determined to bring trust and transparency to car shopping. Since then, our history of innovation and go-to-market acceleration has driven industry-leading growth. In fact, we’re the largest and fastest-growing automotive marketplace, and we’ve been profitable for over 15 years. What we do The market is evolving, and we are too, moving the entire automotive journey online and guiding our customers through every step. That includes everything from the sale of an old car to the financing, purchase, and delivery of a new one. Today, tens of millions of consumers visit CarGurus.com each month, and ~30,000 dealerships use our products. But they're not the only ones who love CarGurus—our employees do, too. We have a people-first culture that fosters kindness, collaboration, and innovation, and empowers our Gurus with tools to fuel their career growth. Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride! ROLE OVERVIEW CarGurus is hiring a Senior Sales Data Analyst to support our Inventory & Data pillar as we build, sell, and scale the next generation of dealer software. You'll serve as a core analytical partner for a high-growth pillar, translating disparate signals from Salesforce, Gong, and internal product telemetry into the data foundations our go-to-market organization needs to scale. Your work will bridge the gap between complex raw data and the repeatable, high-impact reporting that drives execution across the full dealer journey with our products. You'll partner closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations leaders to build the data foundations behind a new team-selling motion and a growing software portfolio. It's ideal for someone who enjoys building in ambiguity, shaping new processes, and helping a business scale with the right metrics from the start. The ideal candidate is an advanced SQL practitioner who is equally comfortable partnering with Engineering on CRM and reporting design as they are coaching stakeholders on how to interpret and act on data. They're energized by being early to a new business and building from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO BUILD THE PILLAR'S GTM ANALYTICS FOUNDATION * Own pipeline, install base, and churn reporting for the pillar's products, turning early prototypes into scalable, repeatable views. * Build demo-to-close analytics: demo volume, no-shows, source attribution, and downstream MRR impact. Surface insights from Gong customer conversations. * Lead analytics for new product launches, tracking adoption, attach, and retention from beta through GA. * Partner with Product Analytics to define KPIs and integrate product telemetry into go-to-market analysis. CHALLENGE PROCESS AND CLOSE SYSTEM GAPS * Pinpoint where our processes and Salesforce design don't line up, the gaps that make the new team-selling motion hard to track, attribute, and measure. * Don't take existing processes at face value: question the status quo, design better approaches, and drive solutions that make the business measurable by default. * Partner with Operations, Engineering, and Sales to streamline workflows and evolve CRM design for better tracking of pipeline, team selling, and clean revenue attribution. * Define and enforce data governance for key workflows (demos, onboarding, no-shows, opportunity tagging, quoting) so downstream reporting is trusted. DRIVE PROSPECTING AND POST-SALE INSIGHT * Build prospecting signals that surface high-potential dealers for each product, and partner with sales tool owners to wire them into the platforms reps use every day. * Manage capacity and supply-demand reporting for products like Sell My Car so teams prioritize the right markets. * Partner with Customer Success on dealer-level engagement tracking, surfacing adoption-risk and churn signals so account and product teams can intervene early. SET THE TECHNICAL STANDARD * Write production-grade SQL on Snowflake and partner with Analytics Engineering to productionize durable data assets in dbt. * Build and maintain dashboards across our BI and CRM analytics tools (Looker, Omni, Salesforce CRM Analytics) so insights live where leaders and reps work. * Keep Inventory analytics aligned with broader Sales Analytics standards and definitions across CarGurus. WHAT YOU'LL BRING * 5+ years in analytics, sales analytics, business intelligence, or data strategy, ideally in SaaS, technology, or consulting. * Bachelor's degree in business, finance, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. * Advanced SQL and hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred). * Strong working knowledge of Salesforce, including its core data structures and how they support or limit selling motions. Experience with Gong data is a plus. * Experience with modern analytics tooling such as dbt, Looker, Omni, and Salesforce CRM Analytics. * Solid grasp of SaaS and recurring-revenue metrics: pipeline, attach, conversion, churn, retention, and MRR. * A proven ability to turn ambiguous questions into clear analyses and durable reporting with the judgment to build structure where processes and metrics are still taking shape. * Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with a track record of influencing senior stakeholders. * Comfort in a cross-functional, matrixed, fast-moving environment. * Bonus: interest or experience in the automotive marketplace, dealer software, inventory management, pricing, or sourcing products. WHY THIS ROLE You'll help shape how CarGurus brings a growing portfolio of software and data products to market, building the measurement and reporting infrastructure a new business needs to scale. You'll partner closely with leaders across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations, influencing strategy while creating the systems, metrics, and insights that guide key business decisions. If you enjoy building in ambiguity, driving meaningful change, and helping a business scale from the ground up, you'll thrive in this role. The displayed range represents the expected annual base salary / On-Target Earnings (OTE) for this position. On-Target Earnings (OTE) is inclusive of base salary and on-target commission earnings, which applies exclusively to sales roles.

Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era. 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 Relay’s Mission is to free commerce from friction. 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 more goods move more freely between more people, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone. THE TEAM • ~110 people, more than half in engineering, product and data • 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research • Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle • An intellectually vibrant culture of first‑principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation About the role Relay's network runs on forecasts. Every shift released in sortation, every middle-mile van dispatched, every last-mile route planned, every expansion decision made - all downstream of models that predict how parcels move through our system. When those models are right, the network runs efficiently and cost per parcel drops. When they drift, the cost compounds across every stage of the operation. The Network squad builds and maintains the forecasting engine that powers all of it. As a Senior Data Scientist in the Network squad, you will lead a core domain within that engine, working alongside other Data Scientists and Analysts who each bring different expertise. The scope spans demand forecasting, expansion modelling, parcel intelligence, and sortation predictions - and the specific domain you take on will depend on your strengths and what the squad needs most. What's common across all of it: you will build and maintain models that directly drive operational decisions for multiple teams across Relay, every day. This means different things depending on the domain. It might mean building the expansion models that determine where Relay grows next: which outcodes to enter, how volumes ramp in new areas, and how the pitstop network should evolve. It might mean working on the dimensions model that predicts parcel weights and sizes before they arrive, feeding route planning and vehicle loading decisions. It might mean extending the demand forecast horizon from 7 days toward 30, giving downstream teams more lead time to plan. Or it might mean improving the predictions that determine what volume is available to sort on a given night, and how that volume should be allocated across sort centres. Relay operates a centralised data team of around 30 Data Engineers, Analysts, and Data Scientists, with specialists embedded into squads across the business. You will sit in the Network squad alongside other Data Scientists and Analysts, reporting into the centralised data team. The squad is growing, and you will have significant influence over its technical direction and the modelling approaches it adopts. You will be supported by Analysts who build the monitoring and reporting layer, and a squad lead who sets strategic direction. What You'll Do * Build and maintain forecasting models within your domain - from initial exploration through to validation and production deployment * Learn the operational processes your models serve, supported by the squad and the teams who use the forecasts, and identify where the current approach falls short * Monitor how your models perform in production, investigate when accuracy drops, and work with the squad to improve them * Contribute to methodology decisions and validation approaches, working with other Data Scientists in the squad to improve the forecasting engine over time * Translate problems from consuming squads into data science problems - Sortation, Middle Mile, Last Mile, Routing, and Commercial each depend on Network's forecasts * Work with Finance, who extend the operational forecasts into longer-range financial projections, to ensure the handoff between operational and financial models is reliable * Quantify the impact of model errors on cost per parcel, helping the squad and stakeholders prioritise where to invest effort * Influence the squad's technical direction and modelling approaches as the team grows Who Will Thrive in This Role? * Experience thinking about interconnected systems - understanding that a demand forecast isn't just a number, but flows through shift release, van dispatch, route planning, and courier allocation. You're interested in how your models connect to the models around them. * A track record of building and delivering models. You've worked from ambiguous starting points before - understanding the problem, building something useful, validating it against real operations, and iterating. You evaluate models beyond standard offline metrics - connecting outputs to downstream applications and business KPIs, and measuring how improvements translate into operational impact. The squad works collaboratively to define priorities and scope, and you'll have support from the squad lead and your peers as you ramp up * Strong Python and SQL, and comfort working across the modelling lifecycle - from data extraction and feature engineering through to model training, validation, and production deployment. You've worked with time-series forecasting methods - whether classical statistical approaches, gradient boosting, deep learning, or a combination - and you understand the trade-offs between them. Experience with data engineering is useful, and you'll be supported by a dedicated engineer in the squad. * You have at least 5 years of experience in a data science or quantitative modelling role, with examples of models you built that informed operational or commercial decisions. You've taken models from notebook to production - writing maintainable code, building pipelines that run reliably, and debugging when they don't. You've contributed to methodology decisions and understand that a model isn't done when it trains well; it's done when it's running, monitored, and trusted. * You have experience communicating with non-technical stakeholders. The squads that consume the forecasts need to trust them, and that trust comes from explaining what the models do, where they're reliable, and where they're not. * You’re comfortable using AI tools - LLMs, code assistants, and similar - to accelerate your workflow, from exploratory analysis to code generation, and you're curious about where these tools can augment the modelling process itself. * This role suits someone who wants to see whether their models made a real difference to how the network operates - there is a direct feedback loop between your work and operational outcomes. * Logistics or delivery network experience is a plus, but what matters more is the ability to learn a complex operational domain quickly and model it well. Compensation, Benefits & Workplace * Generous equity, richer than 99% of European startups, with annual top-ups to share Relay’s success. * Private health & dental coverage, so comprehensive you’d need to be a partner at a Magic Circle law firm to match it. * 25 days of holidays * Enhanced parental leave. * Located in Shoreditch, our office set-up enables the kind of in-person interactions that drive impact. We work 4 days on-site, with 1 day remote. * Hardware of your choice. * Extensive perks (gym subsidies, cycle-to-work, Friday office lunch, covered Uber home and dinner for late nights, and more). Who Thrives at Relay? * Aim with Precision: You define problems clearly and measure your impact meticulously. * Play to Win: You chase bold bets, tackle the hard stuff, and view constraints as fuel, not friction. * 1% Better Every Day: You believe that small, consistent improvements lead to exponential growth. You move quickly, deliver results, and learn from every experience. * All In, All the Time: You show up and step up. You take ownership from start to finish and do what it takes to deliver when it counts. * People-Powered Greatness: You invest in your teammates. You give and receive feedback with care and candour. You build trust through high standards and shared success. * Grow the Whole Pie: You seek out win-win solutions for merchants, couriers, and our customers, because when they thrive, so do we. If these resonate, and you combine strong technical fundamentals with entrepreneurial drive, let’s connect. Relay is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and fostering a workplace where everyone thrives.
