Customer Operations Lead at Zipline

Do you want to change the world? Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. We aim to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building, manufacturing, and operating the first instant delivery and logistics system that serves all humans equally, wherever they are. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes, we are transforming the way things move for businesses, governments and consumers. The technology is complex, but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need when you need it.

Through our technology, which includes robotics and autonomy, we are decarbonizing delivery, decreasing road congestion, and reducing fossil fuel consumption and air pollution while providing equitable access to billions of people and building a more resilient global supply chain.

Zipline believes access to medical care should not depend on your GPS coordinates. We are at the forefront of a logistics revolution, using autonomous aircraft to deliver just-in-time, lifesaving medical supplies on 3 continents around the world right now, 7 days a week.

• Proactive outreach to health facilities and communities where we operate to grow utilization.
• Onboard new health facilities and health facilities workers as there is a churn.
• Host blood drives to ensure fulfilment of recurring blood demand.

• You have significant prior experience working with people and communities on programs (candidates with strong relevant experience working with community-based multinational non-profit organisations may also be considered)
• You can communicate effectively (verbally and in writing) are comfortable speaking in front of large groups and have experience building strong and high-trust relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders
• You are detail-oriented and have experience organizing successful in-person events for large groups
• You have the grit, resourcefulness, and resilience to thrive in novel, uncertain and constantly changing business and regulatory environments
