Now we're bringing that mission to Houston, and we're looking for exceptional salespeople to help build our merchant network from the ground up.
We're looking for a relentless, competitive, and highly motivated Account Executive to help grow Zipline's drone delivery network across Houston.
This is not an inside sales role.
You'll spend approximately 90% of your time in the field, meeting restaurant and retail owners face-to-face, introducing them to Zipline, understanding their business, and helping them become part of the future of local commerce. You'll own a defined territory, manage your own pipeline, and be responsible for signing new merchant partners. While we'll provide leads and strategic guidance, your success will ultimately come down to your ability to prospect, build relationships, overcome objections, and close business. Every conversation is an opportunity to introduce a completely new category of delivery technology. You'll become the face of Zipline within your territory and play a direct role in launching one of the most innovative logistics networks in the world.
This is a contract position with a clear path to full-time employment for top performers as Zipline continues expanding throughout Houston.
The best people in this role are naturally competitive.
They enjoy meeting new people, aren't discouraged by rejection, and understand that every "no" gets them closer to a "yes."
They don't wait to be told what to do—they create opportunities.
They enjoy spending their day in the field, take ownership of their territory, and are motivated by performance-based compensation.
If you're someone who loves building relationships, enjoys solving problems for business owners, and wants to help launch an entirely new way of delivering goods, you'll fit right in.
As a successful Account Executive, you will:
