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--a kind of air traffic control for unmanned aircraft--to safely route drones through the sky. Our service is faster, safer and produces far less pollution than traditional delivery. Originally created in 2012 within X, the Moonshot Factory, Wing is now an Alphabet company.

About the Role:

We are looking for a high-performing, entrepreneurial candidate who is passionate about technology and helping businesses adapt to the ever-changing world of commerce. You have directly managed the contract & agreements life cycle, and thrive in an environment where there are several in-flight deals. You are highly collaborative, open-minded, persistent and strategic – all vital attributes in order to interact successfully with internal and external partners. Using your influencing and relationship-building skills, you will provide high-caliber relationship development and agreement execution.

In this role, you will work with internal Wing teams, spanning several functions (e.g. Operations, PM, Engineering, Legal, Marketing, Policy, Finance and Strategy). You will influence stakeholders, at executive and working levels, internally and externally to ensure the best sourcing strategy and execution are in place. 

What you’ll do:

  • Own the contract negotiation & administration of the agreements space across Wing.
  • Identify and lead exploratory discussions with potential partners/suppliers across industries.
  • Structure strategic plans with key suppliers/partners, and lead the identification, discussion, negotiation and execution of complex agreements.
  • Evaluate and quantify opportunities and present recommendations (and agreement challenges) to Wing Leadership.

What you'll need: 

  • 10+ years prior work experience in Sourcing and/or business development and working with strategic partners to structure and quantify complex, non-standard agreement structures.
  • Experience in agreement consultation, negotiation and execution. Preferably in more than two of these areas: Software licensing, Staffing agencies, Marketing services, Real Estate.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams (e.g. Product Management, Legal, Policy, Finance, Marketing, etc).
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to formulate and articulate contractual, technical, financial and value points with C-level audiences (internal and external).

Bonus: 

  • Familiarity in technical areas such as mobile eCommerce, delivery experience, drone technology and regulations, and UTM systems.
  • Familiarity with the legal and regulatory framework surrounding the drone industry at a global level.
  • Distinctive problem solving, analytical skills and impeccable business judgment. Attention to detail, highly entrepreneurial, creative, open-minded, persistent and highly collaborative.
  • Strategic thinker, who can 'zoom-in and out' to determine an effective path forward for an emerging business area.
  • Proven top-tier performance with increasing levels of responsibility and independence.
  • Self-motivated, results driven and comfortable operating in a rapidly changing industry.
