  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   As a Site Acquisition Manager, you are the tip of the spear for network expansion. This is a pure deal role-built for an elite closer who loves the hunt, runs high-volume outreach, and turns "no" into signed agreements. You will own site acquisition end-to-end: sourcing → qualification → negotiation → contracting → signature → handoff, while keeping the top of the funnel full at all times. You'll partner closely with cross-functional teams (Real Estate Development, Legal, Design/Engineering, Finance, and Operations), but you are the deal owner accountable for pace, quality, and results. This role is for someone who thrives with autonomy, moves fast with disciplined process, and treats aggressive targets as the job-not the exception. This position can be based in multiple locations across our West Coast territory. This role comes with expected domestic travel up to 20%. What You'll Do Own the top of funnel (pipeline creation) * Build and maintain a robust pipeline across assigned markets using broker networks and direct-to-owner sourcing. * Run a high-activity outreach engine (cold outreach, tours, meetings, relationship development) to maintain healthy pipeline coverage. * Develop territory plans: target lists, corridor prioritization, competitive mapping, and weekly pipeline forecasts. Close deals (LOI → signature) * Lead negotiations end-to-end: LOIs/term sheets through definitive agreements (ground leases/licenses, amendments, exhibits) in partnership with Legal. * Secure infrastructure-critical rights and protections including access, easements, construction rights, utility coordination, options/renewals, exclusivity/non-interference, assignment, insurance/indemnity, cure periods/remedies, and termination rights. * Maintain contracting velocity when Legal bandwidth is constrained by triaging redlines, batching issues, using templates/playbooks, and escalating decisions with clear options. Qualify buildable sites early (diligence) * Drive early diligence to avoid dead ends: zoning/land-use feasibility, access/egress, utilities, title/easements, environmental red flags, and basic constructability considerations. * Create clear internal "site packages" that surface risks early and align stakeholders before pushing to signature. Operate like an owner (process + scale) * Maintain clean CRM and deal documentation (using Salesforce or a comparable CRM, plus internal tools) with disciplined stages and accurate forecasting. * Report weekly on pipeline health, conversion, close probability, blockers, and help-needed asks. * Improve playbooks, templates, sourcing strategies, and broker programs to increase close rate and reduce cycle time-building a repeatable acquisition engine. * Anticipate and respond to shifting priorities by continuously monitoring key signals and bringing leadership clear options (tradeoffs, impact, timeline) to drive quick decisions and keep deals moving. Own relationships post-signature * Build durable site-host relationships post-launch to protect performance, reduce fallout, and unlock future expansion. What Success Looks Like * Consistent delivery of signed, buildable sites in priority markets. * High outreach volume, strong conversion rates, and fast cycle times from first contact to signature. * High-quality deals that move smoothly into delivery with low fallout risk. * Healthy forward pipeline coverage (you're always closing while filling the funnel). * Durable site-host relationships that support long-term operations.  What You'll Bring  * 3+ years of site acquisition / real estate dealmaking experience (distributed infrastructure, retail rollouts, QSR, convenience, telecom, logistics, industrial, or similar). * Proven ability to source and close deals end-to-end (not just support). * Strong negotiation and contracting instincts with sophisticated counterparties. * Experience driving contracting workflows (LOI → definitive agreement) and managing multiple concurrent redlines with Legal. * Working knowledge of early feasibility considerations (zoning/land-use, access, utilities, permitting constraints) to qualify sites pre-signature. * Strong organizational rigor and CRM discipline; proficiency with a CRM system (e.g., Salesforce or equivalent) for pipeline management and forecasting. * Authorized to work in the U.S Nice to Have * Experience executing multi-site rollouts and/or building standardized acquisition programs (templates, broker programs, playbooks). * Track record winning competitive sites under tight timelines. * Existing broker/owner network in key North American metros. * Experience in regulated or infrastructure-heavy environments (aviation, EV charging, telecom, logistics, industrial). What Else You Need to Know    The starting cash range for this role is $120,000-160,000. 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, working location, and projected impact. The total compensation package for this role may also include: equity compensation; 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 race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, mental or physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, military or veteran status, citizenship, or other characteristics protected by state, federal or local law or our other policies.   We value diversity at Zipline and welcome applications from those who are traditionally underrepresented in tech.

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  As a Development & Permitting Project Manager, you will be responsible for driving the expansion of our network - defining how autonomous aerial logistics integrates into the built environment at scale. You are the single-threaded owner of development outcomes from site identification through entitlements, permitting and approvals across multiple metros, often simultaneously and under real deadlines. We are looking for someone who takes ownership seriously - someone organized, highly detail-oriented, and consistent in follow-through. You are a self-starter who can operate independently, make decisions with incomplete information, and drive outcomes without constant direction. The work will be ambiguous at times; the expectation is that you bring structure and clarity to it. This role sits at the intersection of site acquisition, real estate development, land use, aviation, and regulatory strategy. You will work closely with government affairs and legal land use to unlock jurisdictions that have never approved infrastructure like ours before. The playbook is being written - and you will help create it. Success requires sound judgment, persistence, and the ability to move projects forward in environments that are ambiguous, slow-moving, or resistant. You will partner closely with engineering and operations to solve technical and site-specific challenges and ensure projects are executable - not just approvable. You should be comfortable going deep on drawings, constraints, and tradeoffs while still maintaining forward momentum. This is an in-person position based out of our regional office in metro. Candidates must be local to the area and bring existing, credible relationships with AHJs and permitting authorities. This is not a role where you build your network from scratch. What You'll Do * Real Estate Search & Site Development: * Support site selection, feasibility, and risk assessment end-to-end, ensuring alignment with zoning, land use, and aviation constraints. * Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans across permitting, environmental, and infrastructure considerations before they impact timelines. * Partner with engineering to translate site constraints into clear design requirements and ensure permit-ready drawings. * Land Use Approvals & City Permitting: * Build and maintain strong working relationships with planners, zoning officials, and building departments to move projects forward efficiently. * Lead permitting efforts across multiple metros, including navigating novel regulatory pathways for drone operations. * Partner with government affairs to navigate and, where necessary, help shape regulatory approaches. * Represent Zipline in public forums (Planning & Zoning, City Council), communicating clearly and effectively to secure approvals. * Ensure all submittals are complete, accurate, and aligned with jurisdictional requirements - high attention to detail is critical. * Actively manage permitting timelines by engaging directly with departments, resolving issues, and escalating when appropriate. * Pre-Construction: * Support the building permit process from submission through approval, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. * Work with external consultants to produce high-quality, compliant drawings and documentation. * Support contractor engagement and scope definition to ensure a smooth transition to the construction team. * Cross-Functional Coordination: * Collaborate with site acquisition, engineering, regulatory, legal land use and operations teams to ensure alignment across development and execution. * Surface risks early and propose practical solutions to keep projects moving. * Provide clear input on permitting and policy considerations during site selection and deal review. What You'll Bring * Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Others), Real Estate, Development, or Construction Management. * 5+ years of experience in Real Estate Development, Permitting, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, and/or Public-Private Project Development, with a track record of delivering projects from concept through approvals. * Bonus: Professional Engineering (Civil) License in the State of Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia or California and ability to stamp drawings. * Strong understanding of zoning laws, building codes, and regulatory processes, with the ability to navigate them independently. * Proven experience managing entitlements, permitting, and development projects in coordination with real estate and construction teams. * Proficiency in tools such as Smartsheet and Bluebeam (Revit / AutoCAD a plus), with the ability to review and interpret drawings. * Ability to work effectively with government officials, permitting agencies, and community stakeholders to secure approvals. * Bonus: Experience in aviation, logistics, or other highly regulated infrastructure environments. * Strong communication skills, including experience presenting in public meetings or similar forums. * Established local relationships with AHJs and permitting authorities that can be leveraged immediately. * Willingness to travel up to 50% across the state to support expansion efforts. * Must be eligible to work in the US. What Else You Need to Know    Zipline is an equal opportunity employer and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, mental or physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, military or veteran status, citizenship, or other characteristics protected by state, federal or local law or our other policies.   We value diversity at Zipline and welcome applications from those who are traditionally underrepresented in tech.

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 the Role As an Inventory Specialist, you will play a critical role at the intersection of logistics, manufacturing, quality, and operations. You will ensure that the right parts, materials, and components are received, inspected, controlled, and delivered to production and field operations with speed, accuracy, and full traceability. This is not a traditional warehouse role. You'll operate in a fast-moving manufacturing environment where supplier quality, documentation, and bills of material (BOMs) are still maturing. Success in this role requires strong judgment, systems thinking, and the ability to solve problems in real time to keep production running and aircraft moving out the door. What You'll Do Inbound Receiving & Quality Routing * Receive inbound materials and verify shipments against purchase orders, packing lists, and engineering documentation. * Identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies related to labeling, documentation, quantities, or part configuration. * Route materials through required quality inspection processes and maintain traceability for quarantined or nonconforming parts. * Partner with Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain to validate part numbers, revisions, and release status prior to production use. Inventory Control & Systems Accuracy * Maintain accurate inventory records through disciplined ERP/WMS transactions, labeling, and location control. * Execute cycle counts, investigate variances, and implement corrective actions to maintain high inventory accuracy. * Support inventory control policies related to traceability, material movement, and configuration management. * Contribute to continuous improvement of inventory systems, workflows, and standard operating procedures. Maintenance & Lineside Support * Deliver materials to maintenance cells and kanban inventory locations (lineside conveyance) based on real-time maintenance schedules and evolving BOM requirements. * Support kitting, replenishment, and material flow adjustments in response to engineering changes or build deviations. * Act as a day-to-day logistics partner to maintenance teams to prevent material-related downtime.
