Senior Product Manager

Senior Product Manager

Location: Hybrid | Antwerp or Amsterdam
Experience: 8+ years of product management experience in physical products, hardware, or wearables.

Build the future of physical products at Loop

At Loop, we're building far more than iconic earwear. We're creating physical products that help people focus, sleep, recover, connect, and thrive.

As our Senior Product Manager, you'll take ownership of a next-generation physical product and help define what's next. You'll turn customer insights, market data, and technical trends into products people love, leading every phase from idea to in-market success while bringing teams together around a clear product vision.

Working across Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, and Commercial, you'll help launch a product that changes how people hear their world.

The Role

You'll shape the future of Loop's product line. You'll own product definition, align technical and business goals, and drive execution across hardware development—from concept and prototyping to tooling, production, and launch.

From early-stage discovery to post-launch iteration, you'll translate insights into decisions, guide trade-offs across engineering, industrial design, manufacturing, and operations, and keep the product on track. You balance imagination with precision—creating space for innovation while keeping delivery sharp.

This is a hands-on role where you'll be on-site 3–4 days a week, closely involved in the physical development of the product—working with prototypes, materials, and samples you can hold in your hands.

What You'll Do

• Define the product vision using customer insights, market data, and technical trends

• Build the business case and roadmap to guide development and align stakeholders

• Lead trade-off decisions across design, engineering, manufacturing, and operations

• Anticipate late-stage challenges (e.g., regulatory compliance, tooling and production readiness, quality iteration) and manage resolution

• Set success metrics and use them to track impact and guide improvements

• Communicate strategy and updates clearly across all levels

• Mentor other PMs and contribute to the evolution of Loop's product management craft

You Won't

• Build products based on assumptions instead of validated customer needs

• Focus on delivery without shaping product direction

• Wait for perfect certainty before prototyping, testing, and iterating

• Work in silos rather than aligning teams around a shared vision

• Prefer clear answers over navigating ambiguity

• Treat manufacturing and operations as someone else's problem

How You'll Succeed

• You work with focus, energy, and clarity. You can zoom out to shape long-term vision and zoom in to remove daily roadblocks. You're decisive yet adaptable—comfortable in technical discussions but always anchored in customer value.

• Clear communication is one of your strengths. Whether working with leadership or cross-functional teams, you simplify complexity, create alignment, and keep everyone focused on what matters most.

• You think like a consumer, building intuitive, desirable products for people who choose to use your product, not who have to. You lead by example, align teams, and bring structure to the messy process of building from scratch.

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years of product management experience, ideally in consumer electronics, consumer goods, or physical products

• A bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field

• Proven experience delivering 0→1 physical products—from concept through manufacturing to market

• Experience managing late-stage complexity—design trade-offs, regulatory readiness, production ramp-up

• Strong financial and commercial understanding to support business decisions

• A clear track record of cross-functional leadership and stakeholder alignment

• A consumer-centric mindset and the ability to balance desirability, feasibility, and viability

Loop isn't for everyone. We might not be a match if you:

• Prefer maintaining existing products over building what's next

• Like predictable environments where everything is already figured out

• Enjoy staying within your own function rather than bringing people together

• Prefer following a roadmap over helping define it

• See ambiguity as a blocker rather than an opportunity

• Aren't excited by the pace of building something new

Still interested?

Great. If you're excited about building bold physical products, shaping a new category, and doing the most meaningful work of your career, we'd love to hear from you.
