Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role focuses on building mechanisms for leadership to make decisions and driving the execution of operational rhythms and business reviews. Responsibilities include creating forecasting models, diagnosing operational bottlenecks, and developing scalable systems to support new market launches.
Requires 5-10 years of experience in operations, strategic planning, or logistics within execution-heavy environments. Candidates must possess strong analytical modeling skills and the ability to drive accountability across technical and non-technical teams.
Zipline is the world’s largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world’s largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably. Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products.
Our customers include the world’s largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we’ve built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.
Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe.
We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth. Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people’s lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.
Zipline is scaling new markets, operating systems, and launch infrastructure that only work if analytics, execution, and operating cadence stay tightly connected. We are looking for a Strategic Operations Manager who can build the mechanisms that help leadership see clearly, make decisions, and drive execution.
This is not a traditional PM role. You will move fluidly between building forecasting models, running operating reviews, coordinating cross-functional initiatives, identifying bottlenecks, and creating the systems that allow teams to scale. The mandate is simple: be a builder, not a coordinator.
You will own recurring operating rhythms and business reviews that turn leadership priorities into clear owners, dates, metrics, tradeoffs, and follow-through. You will make sure commitments are visible, decision points are crisp, and action items move from discussion to execution.
You will build and maintain planning, forecasting, and capacity models; develop dashboards and reporting that improve decision quality; diagnose operational bottlenecks; and drive cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to execution across technical and non-technical teams.
You will create scalable systems and processes that improve organizational effectiveness as Zipline launches, scales, and operates new markets. That includes turning one-off efforts into repeatable mechanisms without adding bureaucracy.
This will be an in-office role based out of our South San Francisco HQ. Must be able to travel up to 25% of the time either to our HQ or into the Field.
The starting cash range for this role is $112,500 - $300,000; please note that this is a target, starting cash range for a candidate who meets the minimum qualifications for this role. We are always open to negotiation. The final cash pay for this role will depend on a variety of factors, including a specific candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, working location, and projected impact. The total compensation package for this role may also include: equity compensation; overtime pay; discretionary annual or performance bonuses; sales incentives; benefits such as medical, dental and vision insurance; paid time off; and more.
Zipline is an equal opportunity employer and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to protected characteristics.
We value diversity at Zipline and welcome applications from those who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. If you like the sound of this position but are not sure if you are the perfect fit, please apply!
Zipline was founded to create the first logistics system that serves all humans equally. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges. Leveraging expertise in robotics and autonomy, Zipline designs, manufactures and operates the world’s largest automated delivery system. Zipline serves tens of millions of people around the world and is making good on the promise of building an equitable and more resilient global supply chain. From powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for Walmart and enabling leading healthcare providers to bring care into the home in the United States, Zipline is transforming the way goods move. By transitioning to clean, electric, instant logistics, we can decarbonize delivery, decrease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access for billions of people. The technology is complex but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. Zipline is inspiring people, governments, and businesses to imagine what is possible when goods can move as seamlessly as information.
