Loop Earplugs is reinventing how people experience the world by enabling them to live life at their own volume. 2024 was a pivotal year at Loop – we hit 14,000,000 earplugs sold, were named ‘The Best Earplugs for Concerts’ by The New York Times, and expanded our product offering to a complete range of solutions for day and night. Oh – and not to mention making history as the first company to win Deloitte’s Fast 50 Belgium twice.
But this is just the beginning. As we continue to develop disruptive products, we’re constantly on the lookout for the next big idea - and building a team who can make it happen.
Being a Looper means making a difference. Whatever your role, this is your stage to make a real impact and bring your ideas to life. Better yet, you’ll join a fast-growing, global team of 250+ people who are passionate, down-to-earth and eager to tackle challenges together.
Let’s be real: Loop Earplugs are flying off virtual shelves, but we’re ready for the next frontier – the “actual” shelves. We’re looking for a Freelance International Retail/Key Account Manager who can crack the code and get us listed with the big guns in retail. Your job? Make sure Loop Earplugs are physically available in stores around the world, so whether someone’s in Tokyo, Toronto, or Toulouse, they can grab a pair on their way out.
What you’ll do:
- Open doors (and conversations) with major international retailers to get Loop onto their shelves.
- Develop and execute a retail strategy that aligns with our global brand vision.
- Manage key accounts like a pro – nurturing relationships with top-tier retail partners.
- Negotiate deals that put Loop in the best retail spots without compromising on what makes us unique.
- Be the driving force behind getting us from “online star” to “in-store sensation.”
- Collaborate with our marketing team to ensure Loop is as eye-catching on a shelf as it is online.
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in international retail sales (bonus points if you’ve got contacts in the right places).
- You know how to navigate big retail companies and can handle the “corporate” with a smile and a strategy.
- A passion for expanding product visibility and availability – you know exactly where Loop needs to be and how to get us there.
- Excellent negotiation and relationship management skills.
- A flair for creativity and problem-solving (we’re not looking for a cookie-cutter sales pitch).
- Someone who thrives on seeing their work result in global success.

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. .
