We redefine what an earplug should sound, look and feel like. Whether it’s hearing protection or comfort for your ears, Loop enables you to live life at your volume. Our founders Maarten and Dimitri started Loop back with a big idea. And a chronic ringing in their ears. Since then, we’ve helped more than 3,500,000 customers around the world to find quiet, enjoy great experiences and keep unwanted noise at bay.
In 2023 we grew from almost 100 Loopers to over 250 people. And that’s a number we would have to keep updating every month, as we are planning to double the team once again, this year.
Our headquarters are based in Antwerp, but with hubs in Amsterdam, Shanghai, and New York, we’re dotted all over the globe.
Not to brag about it, but we’ve recently won the EY Scale up of the year award, the Deloitte Fast50 award (for the second year in a row) and a couple of other amazing (international) prices. The New York Times named us ‘best earplugs for concerts’ and thousands of noise-sensitive customers call us a ‘life changer’.

Elevate leadership impact at Loop in New York
Join Loop as an Executive Assistant and play a pivotal role in driving our Co-founder’s productivity. In this role, you will support Maarten, one of our two Co-Founders, based in New York. As you grow into the role and our team in New York expands, you’ll later also provide support to 1-2 VPs alongside Maarten.
You’ll be an essential member of the wider Business Operations team. You will work in close partnership with the Chief of Staff and the Executive Assistants based in Europe, together ensuring we continue to build and run a seamless, high-performing organisation at Loop.
Your role will involve both day-to-day tasks and strategic support. First and foremost, your mission is to be the driving force that enhances our Co-founder’s productivity tenfold, from all angles. You will do that by leveraging his time to stay focused, efficient, and effective. You will be a master at ensuring his time is only spent on the things that will have the greatest impact on our company, our team, and our customers.
Empowering leadership with focus and results
As Executive Assistant, your main mission is to enhance our Co-founder’s efficiency, helping him focus on what matters most. You’ll manage his calendar with precision, act as the first point of contact for communications, and oversee daily workflows.
By integrating automation and AI tools, you’ll bring innovative solutions to routine tasks. Beyond day-to-day responsibilities, you’ll help create a vibrant, productive atmosphere in our growing New York office, making it a place where everyone thrives.
Your other responsibilities:
- Coordinate travel and plan seamless business events with precision and care.
- Assist in preparing, editing, and proofreading documents to ensure clarity and professionalism.
- Balance being a gatekeeper and staying accessible to the team, fostering open communication between Executives and teams.
- Serve as a trusted partner to the co-founder, acting as an advisor and extra set of eyes and ears to provide valuable insights, ensure alignment, and support informed decision-making.
- Champion the integration of AI tools and automation into daily EA operations, driving efficiency and streamlining workflows.
How you’ll succeed as an Executive Assistant
Success in this role starts with a structured mindset and adaptability. You’ll bring a positive attitude to dynamic challenges and be a proactive problem solver who thrives on variety. Attention to detail and excellent communication skills are essential, as is your ability to stay calm under pressure. A focus on productivity, automation, and flexibility (with no strict 9-to-5 mentality) will set you apart, as will your expertise with tools like Microsoft Office (rules, filters, tasks) and AI solutions to drive efficiency. Your collaborative spirit and fixer mentality will foster strong connections across teams, and experience with LinkedIn or fluency in Dutch (a nice-to-have) will add even more value. Additionally, you may occasionally assist with managing private schedules and agendas.
These key competences will set you up for success:
- 3–5 years of experience supporting founders or executives in high-growth, fast-paced and sometimes chaotic environments.
- Exceptional organizational skills and comfort with ambiguity.
- Experience arranging travel and managing schedules.
- Proficiency with LinkedIn and Microsoft Office.
- Passion for creating a vibrant, organized office where visitors feel welcome, and the growing New York team thrives in a space they love to work.

What We Do
Our story began when Loop's founders, Maarten and Dimitri, had a common problem: ringing ears after a night out. They discovered that they were not alone, as 1 in 4 adults suffer from hearing damage. But why weren't they wearing earplugs? This question sparked the inception of Loop.
At Loop, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the way earplugs look, feel, and sound. Whether you need hearing protection or simply want to ensure comfort for your ears, Loop allows you to live life at your own volume.
Based in Antwerp with offices in Amsterdam, New York, and Shanghai, we are a rapidly growing team of over 250 people. .
