What are the responsibilities and job description for the Special Projects Associate position at Loop?
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.
Our investors include J.P. Morgan, Index Ventures, Founders Fund, 8VC, Flexport, and 50 industry-leading angel investors. Our team brings subject matter expertise from companies like Uber, Google, Flexport, Meta, Samsara, Intuit, Rakuten, and long-standing industry leaders like C.H. Robinson.
About the Role
This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, analytics and product, driving Loop’s most important growth initiatives. You’ll work across the organization to translate operational insight into product action, unlock efficiency, and build scalable, revenue-generating systems.
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. Success in this role will directly translate to equity value creation and earnings growth for Loop as we scale the business.
