Strategic Engagements & Events Internship (Summer 2027)

Join Zipline, a pioneering company in the drone delivery industry. As a Strategic Engagements & Events Intern, you'll play a crucial role in building relationships and momentum with key stakeholders. You'll work across various teams, helping to turn important business priorities into meaningful engagement strategies and experiences. This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience in stakeholder engagement, communications, project management, event production, and business strategy.

• Research markets, stakeholders, and opportunities to help the team understand who we should engage, why an opportunity matters, and how it connects to Zipline’s broader business priorities.
• Help develop engagement strategies and briefing materials, including audience research, stakeholder profiles, experience concepts, agendas, talking points, and recommendations for internal teams.
• Support planning and execution of strategic engagements such as VIP visits, technology demonstrations, partner events, market launches, community activations, conferences, and company-owned events.
• You are currently pursuing an undergraduate degree or have recently graduated and are excited to build experience in areas such as communications, business, marketing, public affairs, events, hospitality, or a related field. We care more about how you think and work than your specific major. Masters and PhD students are also eligible
