Zipline delivers food, groceries, and medicine in minutes with fast, reliable, zero emission delivery. Backed by Sequoia and Techstars.
About the role
As Metro Launch Manager, you will lead Zipline into new markets. You will own the strategy and execution that turn a priority metro into a successful delivery network: where to open first, how sites and partners come together, and how the network develops beyond launch. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Own the multi-quarter metro roadmap and Metro Launch Plan of Record. Set scope, milestones, dependencies, and confidence, keep forecasts and commitments distinct and the company aligned as plans change
- Recommend which construction-ready sites come off the bench through Launch Activation Reviews, securing approval and placing sites into launch quarters. Keep activation decisions separate from customer-launch clearance
- Steward the pipeline-based projected network until Network Planning is staffed. Show where we could launch without implying commitment, and turn the strongest options into actionable launch recommendations
- Own and evolve the metro launch playbook. Establish entry principles and readiness gates, test launch hypotheses, and use early customer, partner, and operating results to improve subsequent waves and future metros
