Loopio is looking for a Senior Sales Response Manager to take ownership of our most complex and highest-stakes proposal responses and to serve as our internal Loopio Champion. Building on the foundation of our Sales Response function, this role sets the bar for how we execute RFPs, RFQs, RFIs, DDQs, and SQs across the business, using our own Loopio platform as the engine behind that work. As part of the member of the Solutions Consulting team, you’ll partner closely with Solutions Consultants and other senior stakeholders across Sales, Sales Enablement, Customer Experience, and Product.
Operating in a fast-paced environment with strict deadlines, the Sales Response function considers high quality to be its gold standard. We are transforming this role from a functional task-completion unit into a strategic, cross-functional partner. Key initiatives include maintaining cut-through Library content, proactively identifying potential risks, and leveraging AI capabilities to increase efficiency while preserving rigour. Beyond supporting Sales, this function actively influences revenue generation through customer conversations, providing Product teams with a "customer zero" perspective, and collaborating closely with Marketing.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thrives on driving process rigour, can operate independently on our most visible deals, and wants to be the go-to person for how Loopio should be used across the business.

Questioning your qualifications? Read this ‼️ Hi there, we recognize that all too often, potential candidates don’t apply for a position simply because they don’t hit every single criteria included in the job description—particularly members of underrepresented groups.
Whether or not your experience ✅ checks off all the boxes on a job posting, we still encourage you to apply to ensure that your application receives a review from our team. We understand that a resume can only showcase so much during the applicant stage, so we've created prompts in the application for you to share more about yourself. If you've made a career transition (or a few!), you’re self taught in a new role, or you have skills/experience you’d like to highlight, we want to hear more about what you could bring to the table.
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
AI Usage in Interviews 🤖 The Loopio interview process is designed to help us better understand your professional experiences, as well as your unique perspective and approach to delivery and collaboration. To ensure a fair and accurate assessment, we expect candidates to refrain from using AI-generated content to produce responses to our interview questions during the live interview, as our goal is to evaluate your own knowledge and problem-solving abilities - not those of an AI assistant. If AI-generated responses are identified during the interview, Loopio reserves the right to disqualify candidates from the interview process.
For specific roles that include a take-home assignment, our AI Interviewee Policy allows the use of AI for initial support; however, the final submission must be a true reflection of your personal insights, skills and decision-making.
Loopio is an equal opportunity employer that is deeply committed to building equitable workplaces that are diverse and inclusive. We actively encourage candidates from all backgrounds and lifestyles to consider us as a future employer. Please contact a member of our Talent Experience team (work@loopio.com) should you require accommodations at any point during our virtual interview processes.
