As the Director of Partnerships, you will have the exciting opportunity to spearhead the growth of Loop’s partner ecosystem. Leading a team of dynamic Partner Managers, you will be responsible for developing and orchestrating go-to-market strategies that strengthen our market presence, expand Loop’s integrated offerings, create first-class partner experiences, and drive substantial revenue growth for both Loop and our partners.

In a perfect world, Loop wouldn't exist. If we had our way, we'd live in a world where we're mindful about how we consume, we love every product we own, and we share values with the brands who create them. In reality, commerce isn't perfect and often breaks. Loop creates second chances.
We're starting by revolutionizing the post-purchase experience. We've taken one of the most fragile commerce interactions - returns - and turned it into something consumers actually love, and that deepens our connection to brands and products.
We take connection seriously on the inside, too. We're building a work experience that allows you to Be A Human First and prioritizes empathy and wellbeing. We view Loop as a special place in your career to shape the future of an industry and become a better person while doing it. You can grow faster here in a shorter amount of time - we'll give you space and trust you to fill it.
