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
- Must be bilingual in English and French, with strong verbal and written communication skills in both languages.
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.

Our work delivers proven real-world impact. We have built AI systems that help manage London’s water supply, supported telecom network planning across hundreds of cities, and developed digital healthcare platforms serving tens of millions of people across Africa. From intelligent command centers to AI-powered infrastructure platforms, we help organizations sense, analyze and act in complex environments.
Our people are ambitious, curious and relentlessly practical. Our teams work alongside clients in the field, solving hard problems and deploying solutions that last. With colleagues across Africa, Europe, the UK and the US, we operate across the full stack - from research and engineering to deployment and capability building.
Our mission is simple: to harness AI to solve humanity’s most pressing challenges.
About the role
Sand is expanding across Africa and beyond, partnering with governments and public sector officials to deliver transformative AI and data solutions. We have deployed our flagship platform - the Health Operating System (HOS) - in more than 5 countries already.
In Rwanda, hundreds of clinics have already been digitized, transforming rural facilities into next-generation health centers that are redefining care in Africa. Sand’s groundbreaking HOS integrates data and services to drive better outcomes - from maternal health to chronic disease management - already reaching more than 1 million patients. Designed for digital empowerment, the HOS equips thousands of frontline health workers with the tools and support they need to magnify their impact and strengthen community health.
The HOS is already operational across multiple countries, with plans to expand to 16 countries by the end of 2026, led by our Country Directors.

Work Environment
This is a hybrid role with significant in-person requirements. While some responsibilities can be performed remotely, the role demands regular presence on the ground to build relationships, oversee implementation, and liaise with local stakeholders. At the same time, given the high degree of virtual collaboration with colleagues and partners across multiple geographies, the successful candidate must be highly self-driven, comfortable working in small in-person teams while contributing to larger efforts virtually, and disciplined in using online collaboration tools and video conferencing to maintain constant communication.
