Looma Background
Looma exists to connect shoppers to the people and stories behind food & beverage products. Our first product, Loop™ At-Shelf Maker Stories, is a network of smart tablets in grocery stores that play short, human-centric films connecting producer to consumer. The data generated by Loop™ fuels our proprietary film production and optimization processes, forming a flywheel we believe will one day power the world’s most sophisticated platform for human-centric point-of-decision video.

Position Summary
Our goal for Loop™ is simple but audacious: we want it to be the best in-store program our brands and retailers have ever participated in. Looma Area Managers play a critical role in making this happen, primarily by working with store teams to develop and maintain a phenomenal in-store experience. Many store teams have little background on Loop™, so Area Managers are responsible for educating them on our mission and value propositions, and then working with them to ensure Loop™ is installed in the right locations, merchandised properly, and featuring the right brands for the store. This is a highly relational role with lots of travel: we're looking for someone energized by visiting lots of stores, winning over a broad range of people, and helping us build a phenomenal set of programs in North Carolina and South Carolina. Must be based in NC or SC.

Responsibilities

  • Build and own relationships with store teams (store managers, grocery managers, beer/wine stewards) within chains in North Carolina and South Carolina
  • Promote Looma’s mission and value propositions at the store level
  • Work with store teams to identify optimal in-store locations for Loop™ 
  • Track merchandising execution performance and build systems for improving it over time
  • Partner with Looma’s Shopper Experience and Story Development departments to identify ways of improving the in-store experience for shoppers
  • Conduct occasional store audits and shopper surveys
  • Perform occasional ad hoc maintenance and troubleshooting

Attributes

  • Passionate about Looma’s mission of connecting producer to consumer
  • Contagious warmth with the ability to win over nearly anyone
  • Relationally energized and excited to build relationships with hundreds of store employees
  • Quick to understand the nuances of store ops’ competing priorities and able to contextualize Looma’s requests
  • Comfortable with numbers and pattern recognition (e.g., understanding dashboard trends or A-B test mechanics) and able to recommend changes at the chain-wide level
  • Quick to understand and identify additional revenue opportunities
  • Eager to learn in a high-growth startup environment
  • Bonus: Experience with adult beverage and/or off-premise distribution, though not required

Structure & Compensation 
The Area Manager role will consist of ~60% travel. Looma will provide a competitive compensation package consisting of base salary and stock options. All Looma compensation packages include cash/equity flexibility (i.e. you can opt for more equity and less cash or vice-versa).

Benefits

  • Employee coverage for health, dental, and vision (gold plan)
  • Unlimited PTO (3-week minimum)
  • 12-week primary caregiver leave
  • Flexible office setting (office, flex, or WFH, with associated stipends)
  • $100/month craftsmanship stipend
