## Summary Loom is hiring a senior strategist to lead Strategy and Enterprise Transformation engagements. The role exists because strategy is currently delivered exclusively by the principals. A dedicated strategist allows concurrent engagements and frees principal capacity for advisory and business development work. ## What you’ll do - Lead strategic engagements with Fortune 500 and high-growth startup customers. - Run impact assessments: identify the highest-ROI AI initiatives across a customer’s operations and rank them by P&L impact and technical feasibility. - Build financial models, feasibility analyses, and roadmaps that hold up to board-level scrutiny. - Translate technical capability into executive narrative without losing either side. - Partner with the Agentic Workflow Lead and the principals on multi-service engagements. ## What we’re looking for - Senior consulting experience at a tier-one company, an in-house strategy team, or an equivalent role. - Track record of shipping AI initiatives that produced measured P&L outcomes the CFO recognized. - Strong financial fluency: ROI modelling, value-based pricing, executive financial framing. - The ability to speak credibly to engineers and to boards in the same engagement. ## What is helpful but not required - Direct technical background — former engineer or applied scientist who moved into strategy. - Experience leading multi-year, multi-stakeholder enterprise transformation programs. - Prior exposure to AI governance, risk, or compliance work at the regulatory frontier. ## What we offer - Competitive base, meaningful equity, transparent leveling. - Remote-friendly across the US, Canada, Mexico, and India. - Direct work with the principals and direct accountability for engagement outcomes. - Hiring process: four stages, decision within ten business days of the working session. See the full process below. ## Hiring Process ### Designed around what predicts performance. Four stages, structured the same way for every candidate. The hiring decision rests on a work sample scored independently by two evaluators — the methods with the strongest evidence behind them in the research on hiring. A decision within ten business days of the work sample. 01 // Screen #### Structured conversation Thirty minutes with Mugdha or Kevin. The same set of questions for every candidate at this stage: your recent work, the problems you want to be solving next, and what would make this engagement work for you. Mutual-fit calibration. The hiring decision is not made here. 02 // Work Sample #### The hiring decision A scoped problem drawn from a current Loom engagement — the same prompt every candidate for the role has seen. Two hours, paired with one of us. We score independently on a written rubric (technical depth, judgment under uncertainty, collaboration, communication) and compare scores before discussion. 03 // Team Panel #### Structured interviews Two or three thirty-minute conversations with the practitioners you would work with. Each is structured around a small set of behavioral and situational questions. Panelists score independently and calibrate after. You are evaluating us in the same conversations. 04 // Offer #### Transparent and timely A decision within ten business days of the work sample. If we extend an offer, you receive a written rationale for the level, the comp band, and the equity philosophy. If we do not, you receive specific feedback from the work-sample rubric. Process design based on the meta-analytic evidence on selection-method validity: Schmidt & Hunter (1998), reanalyzed by Sackett, Zhang, Berry, & Lievens (2022). Work samples and structured scoring with multiple independent raters consistently rank among the highest-validity selection methods. Unstructured interviews, brainteasers, and single-evaluator judgments rank substantially lower. ## Apply Submit your resume and tell us what about this role interests you. ● indicates a required field.
