About You and The Role Zipline builds and operates autonomous delivery systems that move essential goods where and when they are needed.

Real estate agreements enable the sites from which that system operates; clear, well-managed contracts help teams secure, develop, and operate those sites responsibly. As Real Estate Contracts Manager, you will own the day-to-day lifecycle of routine real estate agreements and the systems behind them. You will partner with Legal, Real Estate, Site Acquisition, and Site Development to enable reliable site-contract execution, accurate obligation management, and visibility into deadlines and risk, escalating nonstandard matters to counsel.

You’ll be a core member of a strong, friendly, passionate, in-house legal function and will report to Zipline’s Deputy General Counsel–Head of Commercial. If you're energized by tackling meaningful problems, excited to innovate and radically improve processes, and motivated by work that truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
