Growth Lead - Special Projects

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.

We are looking for a Growth Lead to own and execute the projects that matter most to our global expansion. You won’t be boxed into a specific geography, a single channel, or a swim lane. Instead, you operate as a fixer: you will deploy wherever the highest-leverage growth opportunities are, and work in tandem with marketing, product, pricing, sales, and operations to make sure they are successful.

Reporting directly to the CMO, you will be the driving force behind our most critical initiatives. We aren't looking for coordinators to manage agencies, build alignment decks, or pass tickets down a line. We need a commercial full-stack operator who brings raw analytical depth, a fierce bias for action, and zero fear of ambiguity. This is the ultimate blend of high-level commercial strategy and directly driving the plot forwards.

The Core of The Role:

• Own the Outcome: You are entirely accountable for your project. If a hurdle pops up outside of marketing, you don't need to wait for a roadmap, you can dive in and fix it.

• Seek the Paths that Scale: This is all about doing the chunky things that have material impact on the business, and you’ll need to help identify the big wins from the small ones.

• Commercial Focus: It’s not a role built on vanity metrics, you’ll be moving revenue, conversion rates, CAC, and efficiency.

• Using AI vs talking about it: There’s those talking some good talk, but this is about working with our engineers to legitimately productionise new ways of working that drive value for our customers, not using it to write presentations.

What you'll be doing:

• Driving critical initiatives: Own high-stake growth projects from diagnosis to cross-functional playbook, examples could be getting our next market ready for launch, working on a loyalty program, or deciding how we can improve our product for SMEs - it will be a constant rotation of exciting growth areas.

• Creating leverage across teams: This is not about following a pre-defined product roadmap and supporting it with go-to-market, instead you’ll be directly adding to it and defining it, and also working across sales and ops to ensure it’s delivered.

• Interrogating the data: We have data science in the team, but you’ll need to be comfortable pulling and analysing your own numbers directly to spot opportunities, and measure progress.

• Moving at pace and taking intelligent risks: Data will often be imperfect, and the fastest way to learn is to do it for real, as long as there’s a solid thought process in place.

Skills and Experience You'll need:

• High agency: Background in startups, scaleups, BizOps, or Chief of Staff roles. You can be handed a vague brief and execute it flawlessly.

• Commercial fluency: You talk in revenue, contribution margi, and conversion. You get into the raw data yourself to find the truth.

• A full-stack toolkit: Varied career path preferred. You are not a single-channel specialist; you can move between product, ops, and marketing.

• Bias for action: You love shipping fast and get frustrated by red tape and corporate bureaucracy. You'd rather ask for forgiveness than permission.

• Act like a founder: Self-motivated, comfortable with pressure, and ready to roll up your sleeves to get things done, vs a ‘but that’s not my job’ vibe.

• Please note we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role at this time.
