ABOUT LOOP

Loop is building the next generation of products that help people shape how they experience sound, focus, sleep, and everyday life. What started with beautifully designed passive earwear is evolving into an ecosystem of connected, digital, and AI-powered experiences. As we scale, technology is becoming one of the key drivers of how we innovate, operate, and create customer value. It's not just our products that are transforming—Loop itself is becoming an AI-first company.

   

THE MANDATE

This is more than a technology leadership role. It's an opportunity to shape how one of Europe's fastest-growing consumer brands builds its future. As a strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team, you'll define where technology creates the greatest competitive advantage for Loop. You'll set the direction, make the investment decisions that matter, and build the technology organization that enables our next phase of growth. From AI transformation and connected products to engineering excellence and scalable foundations, you'll turn technology into a driver of innovation, speed, and customer value.

   

CORE FOCUS AREAS

AI Transformation

• Own the technical side of Loop's AI transformation, focusing on business process redesign, adoption, and change management.

• Define the AI architecture, tooling, governance, data access, security standards, and technical guardrails required for safe, scalable adoption and sensible AI economics.

 

Digital Product Engineering

• Lead engineering for Loop's internal and external digital products: apps, backend systems, cloud services, data products, internal tools, and digital customer experiences.

• Collaborate closely with Product and Firmware teams to ensure connected experiences are cohesive, reliable, tested, and supportable in the market.

 

Infrastructure, Support, & Security

• Own the foundations that allow Loop to scale responsibly: IT setup, infrastructure, compliance, security, technical support, tooling governance, technical literacy, identity/access, self-service, and pragmatic risk management.

   

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Define and execute Loop's technology strategy in line with our business ambitions.

• Manage the technology portfolio, making clear build, buy, scale, and sunset decisions.

• Partner with the CEO and leadership team to shape company strategy, investment priorities, and long-term technology direction.

• Build and scale the technology capabilities behind Loop's digital products, AI enablement, and internal platforms.

• Develop a high-performing technology organization with exceptional leaders, clear ownership, and a culture of continuous learning.

• Establish architecture, engineering standards, security, and governance that enable fast, reliable delivery.

• Partner across Product, Firmware, Data, Operations, and the wider business to simplify decision-making and accelerate execution.

   

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Significant experience leading technology in a high-growth or scaling environment, ideally in a senior technology leadership role.

• Strong foundation in software engineering and experience building, launching, or scaling digital products.

• Experience in several of the following: AI enablement, cloud platforms, infrastructure, security, governance, or compliance, with the curiosity and capability to grow into others.

• Ability to translate business ambition into technology strategy, roadmaps, investment priorities, and delivery plans.

• Sound judgment when making technology investment decisions, including what to build, buy, scale, or retire.

• Confidence to create clarity in ambiguity, align stakeholders, and make thoughtful decisions in a fast-moving environment.

• Experience building and developing high-performing teams, empowering leaders, and fostering a culture of ownership and continuous learning.

• Collaborative leadership style and ability to influence across Product, Firmware, Data, Operations, and executive leadership.

• Transformative AI mindset and capability, curiosity about emerging technologies, and the ambition to help build an AI-first company.

   

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE AFTER ONE YEAR

• Customers experience connected, intelligent Loop products that are seamless and set new standards in our category.

• Technology has become a true competitive advantage for Loop, driven by a clear strategy and disciplined portfolio management.

• Loop is AI-first, not just in our products but in our everyday work, enabling faster decisions and greater impact through AI.

• The technology organization is a trusted strategic partner to the business, enabling innovation, accelerating execution, and providing foundations for confident growth.

   

LOOP ISN'T FOR EVERYONE

We might not be a match if you:

• Wait for direction instead of creating it.

• Prefer perfect plans over learning through action.

• Mistake activity for impact, or complexity for progress.

• Default to building everything instead of knowing what to build, buy, or stop.

• Talk about AI more than you use it to improve your work.

• Prefer consensus over ownership, or meetings over momentum.

   

STILL LISTENING?

Good. Loop is at an inflection point. We've built a category-defining product and a brand people genuinely love. Now we're building what comes next: an ecosystem of connected, digital, and AI-powered experiences that redefine how people experience sound, focus, sleep, and everyday life.

 

You'll help shape that future. You'll define the technology strategy, make the bets that matter, and build the teams, platforms, and capabilities that will power Loop's next stage of growth. It's an opportunity to leave a lasting mark—not just on our technology, but on how the entire company works and grows. Let's build what's next together!
