Who Are We?

Closed Loop is a Digital Advertising and User Experience Optimization agency. We make online interfaces easier to use, more effective, and more profitable. Since 2001 we've been trusted consultants to some of the world's largest and most innovative companies including PayPal, Tableau Software, 3M, Allstate, Crate & Barrel, and more.

One of the reasons we’re successful is we work hard to find just the right team members, and then we work just as hard to keep them. Our team includes a unique mix of individuals: passionate, talented, and often unconventional people who…

•   love challenges
•   have extremely high standards
•   are able to multi-task while making it look easy 
•   can grasp the big picture, but with an eye for detail
•   are adept at wearing multiple hats
•   are driven to create real results for clients

Mission of this role:
To more than double our service revenue over the next three years, primarily by signing large profitable contracts with big brands and high-growth companies.
