About Zipline
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.
About You and The Role
Zipline’s long-range autonomous drone system is already delivering millions of medical products across Africa, and as we scale, we’re establishing new distribution centers – the backbone of our operation. Each launch is a complex, multi-stakeholder effort requiring rigorous project management, cross-functional coordination, and hands-on leadership at the country level. We’re looking for a Deployments Project Manager to own local planning and execution of these rollouts. You’ll lead everything from site acquisition and permitting to construction, vendor management, and operational handover, coordinating across internal and external stakeholders to deliver sites that meet Zipline’s technical, safety, and performance standards. This is a highly visible role for a resourceful, technically savvy project manager who is eager to shape Zipline’s growing footprint and deliver lasting impact.
What You’ll Do
- Lead local deployment planning and execution for new distribution centers, owning the project end-to-end from site selection through operational launch.
- Work with real estate vendors and local authorities to identify and secure sites that meet Zipline’s technical and business criteria.
- Partner with Procurement and Engineering to identify, qualify, and select contractors and vendors through rigorous evaluation processes.
- Oversee site preparation and buildout, including workforce mobilization, civil works, hardware installation, and operational readiness, ensuring all timelines and quality benchmarks are met.
- Coordinate with Engineering, Supply Chain and Logistics to ensure timely delivery of materials and equipment to the site.
- Own and manage the project budget, tracking expenditures, anticipating risks, and ensuring efficient use of resources.
- Track KPIs and report progress weekly to country and Africa leadership, highlighting successes, risks, and mitigation strategies.
- Capture lessons learned and contribute process improvements to Zipline’s global deployment playbook to accelerate future rollouts.
What You’ll Bring
- A background in construction project management, civil works, engineering, or operations program management.
- At least 5 years of relevant experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects with significant technical and operational components.
- Demonstrated ability to plan and execute projects under tight timelines and budgets.
- Experience managing contractors, suppliers, and vendors, including technical evaluation and quality assurance.
- Proven track record of leading cross-functional teams and influencing stakeholders across different functions, levels, and geographies.
- Strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to report clearly and confidently to leadership.
- Grit, adaptability, and resilience to thrive in uncertain, constantly changing conditions
This role will be based in-country with extensive on-site presence required throughout the deployment period. Must be eligible to work in-country and commit to travel and frequent field-based work.
