ABOUT YOU AND THE ROLE
Zipline is looking for an Aviation Compliance Analyst to support aviation regulatory compliance across our Africa operations. This role will help ensure that Zipline’s flight operations, site operations, regulatory submissions, reporting practices, and internal compliance processes remain aligned with applicable aviation requirements and Zipline’s safety and operational standards.
You will work closely with the Global Aviation team, Africa regulatory and operations teams, and country leadership. The role may be remote, but it will require regular travel to Zipline nests and operational sites across Africa to support implementation, audits, regulatory engagement, documentation, and cross-functional training.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable moving between detailed compliance work and practical operational execution. The right candidate will be able to understand regulatory requirements, translate them into clear operating practices, build trust with internal and external stakeholders, and help teams maintain compliance in a fast-moving aviation environment. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented and comfortable working in a fast-growing, multi-country aviation environment where structure, audit readiness and regulatory discipline are essential to operational scale.
This role is remote and includes substantial travel across the African countries in which Zipline operates.
