Head of Product Operations

What the role actually is

Zipline is hiring a head of product operations in South San Francisco. The role sits where product planning, launch execution, customer operations, and autonomous delivery hardware have to line up.

For robotics companies, product operations is often the hidden layer that decides whether a system can scale beyond pilots.

What you would work on

• Build product operations processes for autonomous delivery programs
• Coordinate launches and feedback loops across product, engineering, and field teams
• Turn operational data into product priorities and execution plans
• Help scale the systems and rituals that keep robotics deployments moving

What they are asking for

• Product operations, program leadership, or operational strategy experience
• Comfort working across hardware, software, logistics, and field deployment teams
• Ability to turn messy operational inputs into clear priorities
• Senior leadership judgment in a high-growth technical company

Why this one is worth a look

Zipline is one of the rare robotics companies operating at meaningful delivery scale. A product operations leadership role there is a front-row seat to the practical side of making autonomous systems repeatable.
