About The Position

The Head of M&A will find, evaluate, and close acquisitions for Loop, helping advance the company’s acquisition strategy. The role owns the full deal lifecycle, including sourcing proprietary opportunities, building relationships with founders and owners, underwriting businesses, leading diligence, and driving transactions to close. Loop has invested in separate infrastructure for post-close integration, but the Head of M&A will remain closely involved with each acquired business and be responsible for the success of the strategy. The position operates with a flat structure and no layers between the role and the work. The Head of M&A runs processes and relationships independently and brings recommendations directly to the CEO, board of directors, and leadership team. As Loop grows, the role will build expertise in supply chain services, develop a network of owners, bankers, and operators, and help shape the M&A strategy. This is an in-person role based in New York, with an expectation of working in the office four or more days per week.

8–12 years of experience in M&A or private equity, including deals led to close.
Strong financial and analytical foundation, with the ability to build models and underwrite businesses independently.

Exceptional writing skills; memos, board materials, and deal correspondence must meet an institutional standard.
Curiosity about how businesses operate beyond their financial models.
Entrepreneurial approach and ability to thrive in high-agency environments.
Passion for business building with AI.
