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.
The Production Materials Manager leads Zipline's Production Materials organization, owning the strategy, people, processes, and systems that ensure the right material is available in the right quantity, at the right place, and at the right time to support manufacturing. The organization is responsible for every movement of production material after it arrives onsite—from receiving and warehouse operations to inventory control, inspection staging, line-side replenishment, internal logistics, and finished goods movement.
This role leads multiple frontline leaders responsible for warehouse operations and line-side logistics while partnering closely with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Planning, Quality, Engineering, and Facilities. As Zipline scales production from today's rates to hundreds of aircraft per week, you'll design and continuously evolve the operating model, warehouse strategy, and material flow systems that enable high-rate manufacturing.
Success in this role requires balancing long-term strategic thinking with operational execution. You'll build the organizational structure, processes, and tools needed to support exponential growth while ensuring world-class performance in production uptime, inventory accuracy, warehouse health, replenishment performance, operational efficiency, safety, and team development.
This is an in-person role based in South San Francisco, CA.
