About the role
TL;DR: Be the CEO’s and CFO’s go-to problem solver for Lovable’s highest-priority strategic challenges. You’ll operate as the company’s first Strategic Operations hire — deploying into critical gaps that don’t have a clear owner, executing end-to-end, and leaving behind a function or process that runs without you. Examples include international market entry, operationalizing strategic partnerships, and standing up new internal capabilities. You start as an individual contributor and build a team of exceptional generalists over time. Why Lovable? Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with any language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products - fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Over 2 million people in 200+ countries already use Lovable to launch businesses, automate work, and bring their ideas to life. And we’re just getting started. We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We value extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world. What we’re looking for Business generalist with range: You’ve done multiple tours across different functions — strategy, ops, finance, partnerships, go-to-market — and have the judgment to know what “good” looks like in each. You context-switch effortlessly and bring structure to ambiguity. Pragmatic executor, not a politician: You are liked and respected across an organization but not afraid to break glass when needed. You challenge every assumption, ship fast, and don’t stack suboptimal decisions. You’d rather deliver an outcome than present a deck about one. Technical and data-driven: Strong analytical skills. Comfortable with data (SQL, BI tools, or equivalent). You use AI tools and agents to automate work and move faster. Preference for technical degrees or deep technical exposure. High-slope learner: You learn faster than anyone around you, take ownership immediately, and thrive in low-structure environments. You go from 0→1 and then 1→10. Experience: 10+ years of broad-ranging experience. Likely includes a foundation in management consulting (MBB) or banking/PE, but not a prerequisite — what matters is structured thinking, executive presence, and a track record of outsized results. Startup or high-growth experience is a strong plus. What you’ll do Own special projects end-to-end: When the executive team identifies a critical gap or opportunity — entering a new international market, standing up a new function, launching a cross-functional initiative — you take full ownership. You scope it, execute it, hire the permanent leader if needed, and move on to the next one. Build the Strategic Operations function: Recruit and develop a small team of exceptional generalists that serves as a rapid-deployment capability for Lovable’s most important priorities. Use AI and automation to build an operating model that’s as fast and AI-native as the product itself. About your application Please submit your application in English.
