Why We Exist

At Raylo, we’re on a mission to accelerate the move to a circular economy. The only way customers and manufacturers will make that shift is if it’s simple and cost-effective - this is where we come in. We’re building a category-defining global subscription infrastructure, making premium tech accessible and affordable for both consumers and businesses. With over 180,000 subscribers in the UK and growth accelerating - we’ve proven the demand for a smarter, more sustainable way to access technology.

Raylo is a fast-growing and profitable company, backed by global investors including Macquarie, Nat West, and Channel 4 Ventures.

We are proud to have been selected for Endeavor’s network in 2024, underscoring our role as a high-impact, mission-driven business with global ambitions. And in 2025 we were recognised as part of Tech Nation’s UK’s Future Fifty programme.

We have been B‑Corp certified since 2021 and were recently acknowledged by S&P Global for the positive impact of our circular business model via a Green Financing with Nat West.

At Raylo, performance matters. We set ambitious goals, move fast, and hold ourselves to a high standard, because our mission is too important to settle for less.

💡 Be deeply curious – We thrive on innovation through diverse approaches, views, and people.

👟 Walk in your customer’s shoes – To build the best products and make the best decisions for the long term, we must figure out what our customers need, not just what they want.

🎯 Focus and execute – We have a big vision, but we believe in nailing the most important problems first.

💥 Be gritty – Only gritty teams succeed. Our individual ownership, passion, and perseverance mean we’re a team through thick and thin.

Raylo’s Strategy & Analytics team sits at the heart of the business, powering decisions with fast, reliable and scalable data. As Raylo expands across new partners, new verticals, and into new geographies, the volume, complexity and strategic importance of data continues to grow. We already have strong foundations – modern tooling, a highly capable team and a company culture that is deeply data-driven.

We’re now looking for an ambitious data expert to lead our analytics platform, an increasingly critical element of our infrastructure.

You’ll take immediate ownership of the analytics stack (dbt, Big Query, Looker, Airbyte and more). You will ensure that data is clean, reliable, well‑structured and delivered r work will unblock analysts and the wider business, increase the scale of data we can process and improve the stability and performance of our pipelines. You’ll partner closely with our existing data science team and the wider analytics team to provide leadership and guidance on how to use Raylo’s data, while remaining deeply connected to the data itself in your day‑to‑day work.

In the short term, your work will remove operational bottlenecks, reduce single points of failure, and improve data availability and latency. This will put you at the heart of decision‑making across every part of the business. Longer term, you will define and deliver the strategic architecture that enables Raylo to scale: supporting new product launches, international expansion, advanced ML capabilities, deep funnel optimisation, fraud modelling, and more.

This role is foundational to Raylo’s ability to achieve its growth plan.
