The Strategic Operations team exists to drive clarity, speed, and scale across Platform 2. We are the operating system behind Platform 2 — breaking through blockers, building systems that last, and delivering measurable results. Without us, things stall; with us, things accelerate.
As Zipline enters a period of hyper-scale, Strategic Operations is the backbone enabling this growth. We are a small, high-leverage team that sees around corners and builds the foundation for scale.
This role will work closely with Business Operations, Data Platform, Application Software, and Site Operations to ensure the entire Operations organization has the data models, internal tools, and automation required to meet Zipline’s scaling ambitions.
As a Strategic Operations Intern – Data & Tooling, you will build the technical infrastructure that helps Zipline scale its drone delivery network. You’ll drive requirements for data models, automate operational workflows, and develop lightweight internal tools that give our teams clearer visibility and faster decision-making.
This is a hybrid role at the intersection of software, data, and operations. You’ll work with real production data, partner with cross-functional teams, and build tools that directly influence how our delivery network grows and performs.
If you love turning ambiguous operational problems into elegant technical systems, this role is for you.
