Builds and runs autonomous drone delivery
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 Global Supply Management Team ensures that Zipline has the parts it needs from suppliers around the world in a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective way. We build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers, negotiate contracts, and monitor supplier performance to reduce supply risk. The team also works closely with the design engineering, supplier industrial engineering, finance, program management, and material management teams to understand part design, manage supply against demand, drive cost reductions, and streamline logistics across international markets.
As a Global Supply Management Intern, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to the systems, data, and supplier relationships that power Zipline’s global supply chain. You’ll work alongside supply managers, engineers, finance, and operations teams to support sourcing, analytics, and day-to-day execution. This role is perfect for a student to apply classroom knowledge to real-world challenges in procurement, logistics, and global operations.
Your work will directly support Zipline’s mission to deliver essential goods and services across the world while building critical skills in supply chain management.

Zipline builds and operates autonomous drone delivery networks for retailers, restaurants and healthcare systems that need to move products without road traffic. Its electric aircraft carry food, prescriptions and other supplies from partner sites or distribution hubs to customers and health facilities. The company combines aircraft, charging equipment and delivery software with flight operations, so partners buy a logistics service rather than manage their own drones. Merchants use its ordering and tracking tools to reach customers, while governments and health systems contract for medical supply delivery. Zipline was founded in 2014 and has its headquarters in South San Francisco, California.
