About You and The Role As Head of Commercial for the Phoenix metro, you’ll be accountable for scaling a healthy, high intent marketplace and the metro & site-level business that supports it. You’ll own metro and site level P&Ls and customer metrics (GMV, fleet utilization, take rate, customer growth, retention and frequency), build locally relevant partnerships and go-to-market plays, and run the day-to-day commercial engine that makes Zipline the obvious choice across retail, food, healthcare and industrial use cases. This role is about execution, accountability, and results — you’ll lead a small, high-output team and be Zipline’s external face in the region. Why You'll Love it: You’ll join people who love the product and ship real outcomes. Competitive pay, meaningful equity, great benefits, and yes — tasty office food. You’ll build things that matter with a team that cares. We move fast, celebrate wins, and have fun doing it. What You'll Do - Metro & site P&L and customer metrics.
