Senior Recruiting Partner

At Zipline, talent is one of our most important competitive advantages. As a Recruiting Partner, you will play a critical role in shaping the future of the company by identifying, engaging, and hiring the people who will help us transform logistics, healthcare access, and autonomous delivery around the world.

This is not a transactional recruiting role. We are looking for someone who views recruiting as a strategic function and sees themselves as a trusted advisor to executives, hiring managers, and candidates alike. You understand that every hire has an outsized impact on company trajectory, culture, and execution. You thrive in fast-moving environments, bring strong business judgment to hiring decisions, and are energized by the challenge of building exceptional teams in support of an ambitious mission.

The ideal candidate combines strong client management, exceptional talent instincts, and relentless execution. You are equally comfortable influencing executive stakeholders, designing hiring strategies for critical business priorities, and personally engaging top talent. You bring a high degree of ownership, operate with urgency, and are motivated by the opportunity to help build one of the most impactful companies in the world.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a trusted talent advisor to executives, organizational leaders, and hiring managers, helping shape hiring strategies that align with business objectives and long-term organizational needs.
• Own full-cycle recruiting across critical functions, driving exceptional outcomes from workforce planning through offer acceptance and onboarding.

• Contribute to the evolution of Zipline's talent function by sharing best practices, improving processes, mentoring teammates, and raising the overall bar for recruiting excellence.
