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.
