About You and the Role

Set and communicate ambitious goals and priorities for your team -- in alignment with Zipline and organization/country goals. Some of these goals will be local and others will directly connect to global metrics used to measure our effectiveness in serving customers.

Call out when your team needs help: there are gaps in resources (people, tools, skills) that will prevent your team from reaching certain goals -- these must be flagged early and often.

Make sure work is distributed across your team in a way that allows for collective and individual success.
