The People Team is building a humane work experience that prioritizes empathy, connection and wellbeing through every milestone in the employee experience. The team’s goal is to provide a special place in everyone’s career, define an industry, and encourage everyone to become a better person while doing it.
Loop’s People Business Partners are key thought partners and collaborators throughout the company, solving business needs through a people-first lens. As Loop scales, you will steward a culture of high standards with high empathy, support leadership through thoughtful organizational design, reduce friction, elevate talent density, and more, along with supporting your client groups with day-to-day challenges.
Right away, we’ve listed what we think you’ll be spending your time on. We’re growing fast, and growth means the challenges we’ll work on together will change as we lead Loop through new and different phases.
This is an indispensable role with us, so we’ll be looking for you to have examples of when you’ve tackled these challenges throughout your career. We’ve laid out the experience we think is important to set you up for success in this role. But, we appreciate that different humans will solve problems in different ways, so we don’t expect you to fit exactly in a box of requirements.
At Loop, we’re intentional about the way we work so that we can do our best work. We call this our Blended Working Environment. We work from our HQ in Columbus, OH, or one of our Hub or Secluded locations, and are distributed throughout the United States, select Canadian provinces, and the United Kingdom. For this position, we’re looking for someone who can join us at our HQ in Columbus, OH, where we work onsite two days a week, or in one of these hub cities: Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; or New York City, NY.
