The Role Zipline is building the future of instant delivery. As a Field Sales Representative, you will work with our commercial leadership to sign up local restaurant and retail partners in Austin. You will directly own specific sales regions within the coverage area of our drone delivery network. You will be responsible for identifying attractive restaurant and retail prospects, and then reaching out to these prospects to explain our service and sign partnership agreements. You are our important ‘eyes and ears’ on the ground - learning what are the most popular restaurants and retailers in each community and actively engaging with these merchants to join our delivery platform. To do this role well you will need to be curious, driven and a passionate communicator. You should have good sales skills and instincts, and an ability to explain new ideas and concepts in a simple and compelling way. Finally you should be a tenacious self starter who is comfortable bringing prospects along a journey. This role will be based locally in Austin, Texas and will involve a mix of telephone, email and face-to-face in market sales.
