ppWe are Loop /p pLoop Earplugs is reinventing how people experience the world by enabling them to live life at their own volume. 2024 was a pivotal year at Loop – we hit 14,000,000 earplugs sold, were named ‘The Best Earplugs for Concerts’ by The New York Times, and expanded our product offering to a complete range of solutions for day and night. Oh – and not to mention making history as the first company to win Deloitte’s Fast 50 Belgium twice. /p pBut this is just the beginning. As we continue to develop disruptive products, we’re constantly on the lookout for the next big idea - and building a team who can make it happen. /p pBeing a Looper means making a difference. Whatever your role, this is your stage to make a real impact and bring your ideas to life. Better yet, you’ll join a fast-growing, global team of 250+ people who are passionate, down-to-earth and eager to tackle challenges together. /p h3Work that cuts through the noise? Hear us out. /h3 pOwn Loop’s retail channel and build a brand‑accretive omnichannel business /p pThis isn’t a lateral move or a “maintain what’s there” role. Loop is evolving from a single‑channel DTC brand into an omnichannel business. As our Head of Retail, you own how Loop shows up in physical retail. Where we go. With whom. And why. /p pYou design, test, and scale a retail channel that delivers profitable growth while strengthening the brand. No playbooks. No safe defaults. All yours. You’ll work closely with the CEO and executive leadership team as you lead early retail pilots in the US and UK and scale the channel globally, based on proven commercial, brand, and operational results. /p h3The role /h3 pYou step into ownership from day one. You set the retail direction, define what success looks like, and decide when something is ready to scale, or ready to stop. /p pYou move fast, but not blindly. You validate before you scale. You focus on retail formats, partner choices, and execution standards that compound brand equity and long‑term economics. /p h3What you’ll do: /h3 ul liOwn Loop’s retail strategy, including retail partner selection, expansion sequencing, and investment allocation /li liLead retail pilots with a select group of partners in the US and UK /li liEnsure retail pilots align with Loop’s brand positioning, customer experience standards, and long‑term brand equity /li liDefine clear success criteria for pilots across commercial performance, brand impact, and operational feasibility /li liUse pilot results to inform decisions on scaling, refining, or exiting retail partnerships /li liScale retail by deepening high‑performing partnerships and adding new partners in the US and UK based on validated results and brand fit /li liDevelop the roadmap and readiness criteria for EU retail expansion from 2027 onward /li liBuild and lead Loop’s Retail team from scratch, setting clear ownership, capability expectations, and leadership standards /li liPartner cross‑functionally with Marketing, Product, Supply Chain, Finance, and People to ensure the organization is set up to support retail growth /li /ul h3You won’t: /h3 ul liHide behind process, decks, or endless alignment meetings /li liScale retail ahead of validated results /li liCompromise brand standards or customer experience expectations /li liTreat retail expansion as independent from broader organizational readiness /li /ul h3How You’ll Succeed /h3 pWe look for people who think big, stay curious, and aren’t afraid to go all in to make things happen.
