Role
Who you are
- To sustain our global expansion, we need a Business Intelligence Lead who functions as an AI-augmented strategist—someone who doesn't just look at dashboards but builds the intelligent systems that tell us where to go next
- Expert Communication: You are able to transform complexity into simple, clear, and actionable insight
- Proven Capability: Minimum of 10 years of experience in high growth environments, tech, eCommerce, military, business intelligence, revenue operations, and/or consulting
- AI & Automation Mastery: You are a specialist in the modern AI toolkit. You have a track record of using LLMs, Python-based automations, and AI workflows to solve business problems
- Expert Data Consumption: You are an expert at navigating complex data environments. While you won't manage the stack, you understand SQL and BI platforms, capable of extracting high-value insights from diverse sources
- Academic Excellence: An MBA or advanced degree in a quantitative field is preferred, providing the business frameworks necessary to navigate Zipline’s global commercial landscape
- Soft Power & Diplomacy: Exceptional ability to work cross-functionally. You know how to build consensus among diverse teams and drive adoption without needing a direct reporting line to get things done
What the job involves
- Zipline is on a mission to transform how goods move by making autonomous drone delivery the fastest, most reliable, and most delightful logistics system in the world
- As the BI Lead for the Commercial team, you are the "intelligence layer" of our operation. You are a power user of Zipline’s data stack, leveraging it to build cutting-edge AI tools and automated workflows that illuminate complex market dynamics
- You are a "builder-operator" who uses AI to eliminate manual work and move at the speed of autonomous flight. This is a role for a seasoned professional (10+ years) who thrives on using data-driven influence to align stakeholders and turn commercial insights into operational reality
- AI-First Tooling & Custom Apps: Act as a visionary power user of AI. You will code and deploy custom AI agents, custom internal tools, and automated workflows that turn raw data into real-time recommendations
- Commercial Performance Analysis: Leverage our existing data stack to take full ownership of measuring commercial health. You will identify systemic opportunities and pinpoint "exploit-ready" growth areas
- Automation Obsession: Redefine visibility at Zipline. You will identify every manual commercial process and architect an automated, AI-enhanced alternative, ensuring our Commercial team spends less time digging for data and more time winning markets
- Cross-Functional Influence: Lead through technical diplomacy. You will partner with Engineering and Data teams to ensure the commercial requirements are met, using your soft power to resolve bottlenecks and drive results across the organization
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.
