About Loop

Loop is on a mission to unlock profits trapped in the supply chain and lower costs for consumers. Bad data and inefficient workflows create friction that limits working capital and raises costs for every supply chain stakeholder.

Loop’s modern audit and pay platform uses our domain-driven AI to harness the complexity of supply chain data and documentation. We improve transportation spend visibility so companies can control their costs and power profit. That is why industry leaders like J.P. Morgan Chase, Verizon, Dell, Tyson Foods, and Estee Lauder work with Loop.

Key Responsibilities

• Demonstrate a deeply substantive execution skill set, knowledge of Loop’s product offering, and how it solves our customers pain points
• Build and maintain relationships with internal customer‑facing stakeholders, ensuring that Loop is focused on delivering value for them.
