Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for early-career and internship roles. Plan and execute university events, tech talks, and hackathons to increase brand visibility and source top talent.
Requires 3+ years of experience in university or emerging talent recruiting, preferably in a tech environment. Must have strong event management skills and a willingness to travel domestically during peak seasons.
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's Emerging Talent Recruiting team hires the early-career engineers, technicians, and operators who scale our autonomous logistics platform—airframes, avionics, manufacturing, field operations, and software that deliver life‑saving medicine. This contractor role (Emerging Talent Recruiter) is a focused, owner-level delivery role for the upcoming fall university season (expected contract: 4–6 months, start August; potential extension based on performance and headcount needs). You will be the primary recruiter driving pipeline, event execution, and hires for a defined slate of 10–20 internship and entry-level requisitions across Hardware, Manufacturing, Field Operations, and Software teams. Success here directly affects Zipline’s ability to staff launch sites, scale production throughput, and maintain operational readiness for regulated flight and medical deliveries.
We are looking for an Emerging Talent Recruiter to join us as a contractor to support our upcoming busy fall university recruiting season, with the potential for extension beyond that. In this role, you will play a key part in discovering and hiring the next generation of builders at Zipline. You will manage full-cycle recruiting for various early-career roles, while also planning and facilitating engaging recruiting events at universities and technical competitions. This is a hands-on, fast-paced contract position perfect for someone who excels at candidate engagement, event logistics, and building strong, collaborative partnerships with hiring managers during our peak hiring season.
We prefer to have someone work out of our South San Francisco Headquarters, but we're open to remote for the right person!
Zipline is unable to sponsor work visas for applicants to this position.
The starting cash range for this contractor position is $60.00 - $65.00 / hour. Please note that this is a target, starting cash range for a candidate who meets the minimum qualifications for this role. The final cash pay for this role will depend on a variety of factors, including a specific candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, and working location.

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.
