Head of Business Operations

About the Opportunity

The organization offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last-mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. The organization's fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. The technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. The organization's mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet.
