Where You’ll Work 📍

• Loopio is a global company, HQ’d in Canada, that embraces flexible and effective work models. While many of our teams operate remotely, this role is part of a new, strategic product team that will work in a hybrid model to accelerate innovation and foster deep collaboration.

• This hybrid role will likely be based in one of our key India hubs: Ahmedabad, with the expectation of working from our co-working space 3 days per week. This approach is intentionally designed to give you the best of both worlds: high-impact, in-person collaboration with your team to drive impactful product initiatives, and the flexibility of focused work-from-home days.

• Our employees (or Loopers, as we call ourselves!) live and work in 🇨🇦 Canada (British Columbia and Ontario), 🇬🇧 London, and 🇮🇳 India (specifically in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Bengaluru).

• Our India/UK hub employees work according to business hours stated in the job description above. This is intentionally designed to enable our global teams to have overlapping hours for collaboration.

• You’ll collaborate with your immediate team in person and with our global teams virtually across the UK, Canada, and the US (we’re just a Zoom call and Slack message away!), with core sync hours and focus time for headsdown work 🙇🏾 during the workday

• We encourage balancing synchronous and asynchronous collaboration to effectively work as a global #OneTeam!

Why You’ll ❤️ Working at Loopio

• Your manager supports your development by providing ongoing feedback and regular 1-on-1s, we leverage Lattice for our 1:1s and performance conversations

• You will have the opportunity to elevate 🪄 your craft and the opportunity to explore your creativity, with a dedicated professional mastery allowance for more learning support! We encourage experimentation and innovative thinking to drive business impact.

• We’ll set you up with a MacBook laptop 🍏, a monthly phone and internet subsidy, and a work-from-home budget to help get your home office all set up for your remote days.

• You’ll be joining a supportive culture that offers the best of both worlds: deep connections built in a collaborative office environment and the flexibility of a global, virtual-first company.

• Enjoy the camaraderie and energy of a dedicated office space, complete with snacks, beverages, and amenities to fuel your day. Your team will also have a dedicated social budget for welcome lunches and other activities

• Participate in 🎤 townhalls, AMA (Ask-Me-Anything), and quarterly celebrations to celebrate the big wins and milestones as #oneteam!

• Our four active Employee Resource Groups offer opportunities for employees to learn and connect year-round.

• You’ll be a part of an award-winning workplace 🏆with an opportunity to make a big impact on the business.

AI in Recruitment 👩🏻‍💻 At Loopio, we leverage  artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance our recruitment process. These tools assist with tasks such as resume screening, drafting preliminary job descriptions, generating initial interview questions, transcription and occasionally sourcing prospective candidates. However, AI is never used to make final hiring decisions; our use of AI  serves to support repetitive and administrative tasks in order to streamline our hiring and recruitment workflows. We are committed to the responsible use of AI in our hiring practices, prioritizing both  an improved candidate experience and operational efficiency. Our standardized hiring practices remain focused on reducing biases, with all key hiring decisions  solely made by our team. We continuously review and refine our hiring practices to align with  industry best practices and evolving legal guidelines
