Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is analytical, execution-oriented, and entrepreneurial — someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves seamlessly between the 10,000-foot view and the details, and is motivated by creating tangible business impact
- You have a quantitative or analytical background — ideally in finance, data science, engineering, economics, or a related field — and connect data to business outcomes
- You have 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, principal investing, product strategy, analytics, or a high-growth startup where you’ve delivered measurable results
- You’re fluent in Excel / Sheets, can get comfortable querying with SQL, and can prototype analyses or solutions in Python
- You thrive at the intersection of data, operations, and product, balancing strategic thinking with a bias for execution
- You’re energized by high-leverage, ambiguous problems — from replatforming workflows to monetizing new payment and financial products
- You’re a cross-functional collaborator who can influence product roadmaps, partner with engineers and operators, and communicate crisply with executives
- You take ownership and think like an owner — curious, data-driven, and motivated by driving impact that creates meaningful enterprise value
- You’re excited to be an early, high-trust member of a fast-growing company shaping new lines of business from 0→1
- This is an in-person role with the expectation to be in one of Loop's offices several days a week
What the job involves
- This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, analytics and product, driving Loop’s most important growth initiatives

- Success in this role will directly translate to equity value creation and earnings growth for Loop as we scale the business
- Lead strategy and execution for high-impact growth initiatives, including opportunity sizing, stakeholder prioritization, and building clear, data-backed business cases
- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Product, Finance and Go-To-Market teams to drive alignment, remove blockers, and accelerate execution
- Shape and manage critical program roadmaps — define requirements, sequence workstreams, identify risks early, and ensure cross-team coordination from concept through delivery
- Partner with Strategic Finance to evaluate optimization opportunities, model P&Ls, and size potential ROI
- Act as the voice of internal and external stakeholders, synthesizing insights into actionable recommendations and translating operational needs into product or process requirements
- Maximize growth and retention across key customer portfolios by ensuring that projects deliver measurable business impact
- Focus on execution excellence, long-term value creation, and driving operational initiatives that directly translate into equity value and earnings growth
- Work closely with the leadership team and Board of Directors on top-priority corporate strategy initiatives
Our take
In the complex landscape of global supply chains, outdated financial infrastructure and manual processes have created a significant challenge for businesses in the logistics sector. Legacy systems often rely on labor-intensive methods for recording crucial shipping documents, leading to poor auditing practices and a lack of a single, reliable "source of truth" for payment transactions.
Loop, an audit and payment platform, is actively addressing these challenges with its AI-driven approach to transportation financial data. The company's platform consolidates and analyses information, providing real-time insights into costs, improving accuracy, and unlocking savings for its users.
In a 2023 milestone, Loop raised $35 million in a Series B funding round. This investment attests to the growing recognition of its value proposition and its potential to transform how money moves through the supply chain. With an expanding customer and partner base (that in 2024 grew to include Saudi Arabia through a partnership with Mastercard and JP Morgan through a supply chain payments partnership) and over $3 billion in booked total payment volume to date, Loop is poised for further growth and innovation.
