What the job involves
- Zipline is seeking a Senior Recruiting Partner to help support the growth of our non technical teams. We are pioneering autonomous logistics at a global scale, and our technology is fundamentally rewriting how the world moves critical goods. To support this massive expansion, we are seeking an exceptional Senior Recruiting Partner to help build the world-class teams that will define our next stage of growth
- This role is a high-impact opportunity to act as a talent architect across our most critical non technical functions—specifically anchoring searches across G&A (Finance, Legal, People, Workplace), Operations, and Sales / Go-To-Market (GTM)
- This is not a business-as-usual recruiting role. We need someone who is genuinely energized by rapid scaling, leans into ambiguity, and views change as an opportunity to build something innovative and lasting
- You will partner directly with hiring managers and executive leads to shape team capabilities, influence talent strategy, and deliver key hires that accelerate our business outcomes. The ideal candidate combines full-cycle recruiting expertise with strong business acumen, exceptional judgment, and a demonstrated track record of hiring revenue-generating, operational, and corporate talent in fast-paced, high-growth environments
- Lead full-cycle searches for top-tier talent across all levels of experience, including senior leadership roles, spanning our Operations, G&A (Finance, Legal, People), and Sales/GTM organizations
- Develop proactive talent strategies to identify and attract top business, operational, and commercial professionals from highly competitive, fast-moving markets
- Deliver exceptional candidate experiences while authentically representing Zipline’s mission, fast pace, and culture of customer obsession
- Partner directly with hiring managers and business leaders as a trusted advisor to deeply understand Zipline's evolving operating model, commercial pipelines, and talent gaps
- Influence hiring decisions through data, market intelligence, organizational insights, and structured talent assessments
- Help teams define hiring profiles that align with both immediate scaling needs and future organizational growth
Our take
Zipline is reinventing how the world moves goods - one flight at a time. What started as a bold idea to deliver life-saving medical supplies by drones has grown into the world's first logistics network designed to serve everyone, everywhere. From rushing blood and vaccines to remote clinics, to dropping off everyday essential for Walmart customers, Ziplines's autonomous drones are proving that fast, reliable delivery doesn't have to be limited by roads or geography.
Zipline has an edge over potential future competitors as the company has thousands of hours and over 35 million miles of flight to prove the system is safe and effective. It’s also one of the first companies to receive a full commercial operating certificate, putting Zipline in a strong position to continuously branch out to other markets.
The unicorn company operates globally and has signed its first government contract with Rwanda to provide up to 2 million drone deliveries by 2029. Beyond government partnerships, Zipline has its sight set on everyday consumers, preparing to launch commercial deliveries straight to individuals houses. With its Walmart collaboration expanding and even Chipotle orders taking to the skies in Texas, Zipline isn't just redefining delivery - it's aiming to reach every corner of commerce, with a future that looks as bright as its ambitions.
