A Note on our Flexible Time Off Policy

We encourage all employees to take meaningful time off to ensure they return to work refreshed and energized. This approach underscores our commitment to fostering a culture of trust, flexibility, and support, ensuring that you have the opportunity to prioritize your well-being while contributing effectively to our shared success. We know these types of Time Off policies can unintentionally lead to people taking less time off - but that's not what we're striving for or enabling at Zipline. We truly believe resting appropriately makes us better at our jobs, and is a critical part of success, and trust each employee to do so.

We have made incredible progress but changing the industry is hard. We are well funded by leading venture capital firms like Emergence Capital and ready to scale. We need your help to improve the way that this 4.4 trillion dollar industry communicates with its store employees. Cumbersome, slow, and inefficient systems should not be the status quo. Help us retool retail, and Keep Today on Track™

We’re committed to diversity and inclusivity, creating a workplace where people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives thrive.
