Head of Sales Operations

In the last year at Loka, our engineers have helped clients advance the world’s #1 AI reading tutor, eliminate $1B in food waste and develop novel drugs for fighting cancer. To cap it off, at the end of 2024 Loka was recognized by AWS as Innovation Partner of the Year, outshining 150,000 partners for the title.

Our award-winning engineering work is driven by our Sales team—the team that we want you to lead.
