Market Manager

Looma Background
Looma exists to connect shoppers to the people and stories behind their products. Our first product, Loop™ At-Shelf Maker Stories, is a network of tablets in grocery stores that play short, human-centric films connecting producer to consumer. The data generated by Loop™ fuels our proprietary storytelling process, 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 program our brand partners have ever participated in. The Market Manager will play a critical role in bringing this to life, primarily by educating and winning over store employees to improve the in-store experience. Most store employees don’t know the impetus behind Looma, to connect shoppers to the people and stories behind their products, and therefore don’t support the program very well. The Market Manager is responsible for resolving this by first educating store employees and then working with them to ensure our tablets are optimally located and well-merchandised. This is a highly relational role with lots of travel: we’re looking for someone passionate about our mission, motivated, and comfortable on the road.

• Build and own relationships with store management within chains in Texas
• Promote Looma’s mission and value propositions at the store level
• Work with store management to identify optimal in-store locations for Loop™ and ensure phenomenal merchandising execution
• Partner with Looma’s Human Experience and Story Success departments to identify ways of improving the in-store experience for shoppers
• Conduct occasional store audits and shopper survey
• Occasional ad hoc maintenance

Attributes

• Passionate about Looma’s mission of connecting producer to consumer
• Contagious warmth: Able to win over nearly anyone
• Relationally energized: Excited by the opportunity to build relationships with hundreds of store employees across Texas
• Practical/strong street smarts: Quick to understand the nuances of store ops’ competing priorities and able to contextualize Looma’s requests
• Entrepreneurial: Quick to understand and identify additional revenue opportunities
• Eye for scalable process: Able to recommend changes at the chain-wide level
• Experience in adult beverage off-premis distribution preferred, but not required
