Zipline is on a mission to transform the way goods move. Our aim is to solve the world’s most urgent and complex access challenges by building the first instant logistics system that serves all humans equally. Leveraging expertise in robotics and autonomy, Zipline designs, builds, and operates a fleet of cutting edge, autonomous delivery drones. We serve tens of millions of people around the world.

Joining Zipline’s Emerging Talent program as an intern is an opportunity to contribute to our promise of building a system that provides equitable access to critical healthcare supplies for millions of people. We believe that internships are more than just opportunities to learn by watching or doing low level tasks. We expect our interns to take on meaningful work that actively contributes to moving Zipline’s mission forward, while learning real-world skills that will serve them in their careers for the long term. 

Join us, and build the future of logistics with the best humans around!

About the Monitoring & Evaluation Analyst Team

The Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) team is responsible for exploring and analyzing the impact of Zipline across countries and markets. We design impact evaluations where we assess how Zipline is transforming supply chains for vaccines, medical products, and other commodities. From that point, we move to population health and analyze to what extent improved supply chains can increase access to healthcare (the core of Zipline’s mission) and reduce burden of disease. A large part of the work is designing and conducting health research. The other part is creating monitoring and evaluation frameworks for ongoing and prospective initiatives.

About The Role  

We need additional hands and brains to help us in all stages of the research cycle. This includes drafting research protocols, submissions to Ethics Review Committees, design of surveys and other data collection tools, statistical analysis, report writing, and presentation of findings. We also work in cost-effectiveness and economic evaluations in general. It would be a great opportunity to learn more about any or all of these activities, and see first hand how aerial logistics can transform people’s health and lives.
