Zipline is standing up a ground-side field operations layer in Atlanta to run its drone delivery network day to day, signaling that autonomous logistics is moving from pilot programs into staffed, scaled operations in the US.
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.
Zipline is looking for a Field Operations Supervisor to lead daily execution across 3–5 Drone Charging Sites in the greater Atlanta area. These sites support aircraft readiness and delivery operations.
You will directly lead local field teams and help ensure each site is staffed, safe, organized, and ready to operate throughout the seven-day operating week. You will coach employees, coordinate schedules and training, reinforce standard operating procedures, and address performance or readiness gaps.
You will report to the Business Field Operations Lead, and work closely with Flight Operations, Customer Operations, Maintenance, and other teams. The Business Operations Lead sets market priorities and operating systems; you will translate those priorities into consistent execution across your assigned sites.
This is an onsite, field-based role requiring regular travel between locations. The operating schedule spans seven days, so the role may require early mornings, evenings, weekends, or holidays to support team and site needs.
