All Loopers have the option to work from home. Ontario Loopers have the option to work in the Toronto HQ and BC Loopers may work from our coworking office in Gastown Vancouver. It is whatever works best for you
You'll collaborate with your teams virtually (we're just a Zoom call away) and have established core sync hours and focus time during the workday to enable us to work smarter together
