About Hoop
Hoop is on a mission to bring creativity and focus back to work.
These days, task management is a job unto itself. People have to write down tasks, rely on memory, attend back-to-back meetings all while having to keep the rest of the team in the loop, often manually. Hoop is the next generation of task and project management. With Hoop, much of the rote repetitive work is done by AI leaving people more time to do what they do best: focused and creative work. This starts with centralizing tasks across tools automatically, and evolves into teamwork that’s transparent, focused, and more intelligent.
Our Culture
Hoop is a remote first, mostly asynchronous team located across the US. We care deeply about building delightful, world class software. We keep the customer at the center of every product decision. We’re highly intentional about how we work, with a focus on creating a high trust and high accountability culture.
More about Hoop:
- Focused on excellence in craft
- Remotely distributed (within the US)
- Mostly asynchronous, with meaningful sync time for collaboration
- Flexible workweek. 4 days or 5 shorter days.
We’re a team of ambitious, high achievers who are masters in our crafts and take immense pride in our work. We’re focused on solving customer problems, and love taking ownership of projects, from the big picture down to the details.
This role reports directly to Justin Gallagher, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, who has spent his career scaling Product, Engineering, and Design teams.
