Operations Ghostbuster

• Zipline’s delivery network depends on clear decisions, reliable operating data, and effective handoffs among Commercial, Operations, Product, Data, Finance, and field teams
• As an Operations Ghostbuster, you will find recurring friction in those workflows and build practical systems that help teams execute
• This is an owner role, not a coordination role. You will prioritize problems by business impact, delivery-network risk, and operating priorities; diagnose root causes; ship fixes; and measure improvements in speed, conversion, decision quality, and execution reliability
• Identify high-impact bottlenecks in commercial, operations, and field workflows, including manual handoffs, unclear ownership, missing metrics, stalled decisions, and weak follow-through
• Prioritize work streams using business impact, delivery-network risk, and operating priorities
• Turn ambiguous problems into scoped work streams with accountable owners, milestones, operating mechanisms, and measurable success criteria
• Build dashboards, automations, trackers, and workflows that resolve immediate friction and can scale with the business
• Own workflow improvements end to end, from diagnosis and stakeholder alignment through implementation, iteration, adoption, and performance review
• Partner across Commercial, Operations, Product, Data, Finance, and field teams to improve execution across Zipline’s delivery network
• Use operating data to measure changes in cycle time, conversion, decision quality, follow-through, and execution performance
