Job Title: Aviation Compliance Analyst
Location: Abuja (Remote)
About You and The Role
Zipline
is looking for an Aviation Compliance Analyst to support aviation regulatory
compliance across our Africa operations.
This
role will help ensure that Zipline’s flight operations, site operations,
regulatory submissions, reporting practices, and internal compliance processes
remain aligned with applicable aviation requirements and Zipline’s safety and
operational standards.
You
will work closely with the Global Aviation team, Africa regulatory and
operations teams, and country leadership.
The
role may be remote, but it will require regular travel to Zipline nests and
operational sites across Africa to support implementation, audits, regulatory
engagement, documentation, and cross-functional training.
This
is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable moving between detailed
compliance work and practical operational execution.
The
right candidate will be able to understand regulatory requirements, translate
them into clear operating practices, build trust with internal and external
stakeholders, and help teams maintain compliance in a fast-moving aviation
environment.
The
ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented and comfortable working in
a fast-growing, multi-country aviation environment where structure, audit
readiness and regulatory discipline are essential to operational scale.
This
role is remote and includes substantial travel across the African countries in
which Zipline operates.
What You'll Do
Assist
cross-functional teams in preparing regulatory approval packages, documenting
conditions of approval, and maintaining post-approval compliance records.
Maintain
and update aviation manuals, regulatory documents, and operating materials to
align with approved operations and applicable regulations.
Format,
organize, and version-control materials required for regulatory approvals,
audits, inspections, and internal reviews through Zipline’s aviation compliance
portal.
Maintain
compliance dashboards, trackers, and structured datasets covering licenses,
permits, certificates, approvals, renewals, regulatory commitments, operational
limitations, special conditions, open actions, and upcoming deadlines across
multiple countries.
Support
compliance monitoring activities, including audit readiness, findings
management, non-compliance tracking, CAPA follow-up, and closure-evidence
capture.
Prepare
and maintain documentation related to safety occurrences and regulatory
reporting, including data capture, internal follow-up, and record management.
Independently
manage assigned compliance workstreams with minimal supervision, escalating
risks, gaps, delays, or unclear requirements as appropriate.
Standardize
compliance processes, documentation structures, reporting templates, training
materials, and internal reporting systems as Zipline’s operations scale across
multiple countries.
Support
the maintenance and continuous improvement of compliance tools, safety
management system platforms, and aviation compliance portals.
Partner
with country teams, operations leaders, safety teams, and aviation regulatory
colleagues to identify compliance needs, translate regulatory requirements into
practical systems, and support field-level implementation.
What You'll Bring
2
- 5 years experience in aviation compliance, quality, safety, documentation
control, or aviation/flight operations (UAS or manned aviation).
Strong
ability to independently manage structured compliance workstreams with high
attention to detail.
Experience
conducting or supporting internal audits and managing findings and CAPAs.
Strong
written communication and documentation skills.
Ability
to translate regulatory and operational requirements into clear, auditable
systems and records.
The
ideal candidate is comfortable working across jurisdictions with varying
regulatory maturity and is able to maintain rigor and consistency in complex,
evolving environments.
Willingness
to travel as required.
