What You’ll Do  

• Design and maintain analytics frameworks that connect geospatial and operational data to business outcomes. Uncover trends, develop KPIs, and support data-driven decision-making across sales, marketing, and government engagement efforts.
• Collaborate with GIS engineers and operations teams to refine Zipline’s spatial data pipelines. Ensure accurate and validated flight routing and territory mapping using up-to-date satellite, drone, and local data sources.
• Conduct spatial analyses to estimate travel time and distance to health facilities using road network data, elevation models, and service delivery catchments.
• Support monitoring and evaluation (M&E) studies by integrating geospatial data with health, demographic, and operational datasets to inform impact assessments.
• Access and analyze remote sensing data from platforms such as Google Earth Engine, Sentinel, or Landsat to support environmental, demographic, and infrastructure-related research.
• Design and implement spatial regression models and geographically weighted analyses to explore spatial patterns in health outcomes and service accessibility.
• Contribute to the design of sampling strategies for household surveys, including spatial enumeration and clustering techniques to ensure representativeness and feasibility in the field.
• Develop models to identify optimal locations for new Zipline distribution centers based on geospatial, socioeconomic, epidemiological, and logistical factors.
• Analyze disease outbreak patterns and model the geographical dissemination of infectious diseases to support response planning and proactive health interventions.
• Create clear, reproducible spatial data pipelines and visualizations to support internal decision-making and external communications with stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with data scientists, impact evaluators, engineers, and policy teams to translate research questions into actionable geospatial analyses.
