About Wing:

Wing is reshaping the future of delivery. We are an on-demand drone delivery service that can deliver food, medicine or other items within minutes. We’ve also developed an unmanned traffic management platform to safely route drones through the sky. Our service is faster, safer and produces far less pollution than traditional delivery.

      • Monitor the technology roadmap and developments in Wing’s product offering
      • Provide a continuous feedback loop to central teams (e.g. product and engineering), articulating what’s working well and what’s not
  • Represent Wing and the brand
    • Build and grow relationships with local merchants, partners, the local community and political leadership
    • Occasionally represent Wing with press and local media

What You'll Need:
