Job description

TL;DR

Lovable is growing at terminal velocity. We need a Corporate Counsel who is as comfortable negotiating a term sheet as they are reviewing a stock option plan or cleaning up cap table mechanics the week before a fundraise closes. This role sits at the heart of Lovable’s legal function - owning equity, corporate transactions, and governance, while acting as the connective tissue between our Commercial and Product counsel teams. If you thrive in the space where company-building meets legal infrastructure, this is your role.

Why Lovable

• Change the world, literally: 2026 is the year AI works. Lovable is building the most powerful AI software-creation platform.
• Work with exceptional people: We’re assembling one of the world’s strongest teams. You’ll work alongside founders, board members, and investors on the transactions that define the company’s trajectory.
• Legal as a growth lever: At Lovable, legal is not "back office." You will be a direct driver of our ability to raise capital, close strategic transactions, and maintain the governance hygiene that keeps institutional investors confident.
• Top‑of‑market comp: Cash + equity. We pay above market for impact, not pedigree.
• Global stage: We are a top AI brand. You’ll navigate the structural and regulatory complexities of a dual‑listed, multi‑jurisdiction technology company growing across the US, EU, and beyond.

What we're looking for

• Relevant Experience: 4–8 years of legal experience, with a meaningful blend of law firm (ideally corporate/securities at a top‑tier firm) and in‑house tenure at a high‑growth technology company (Series B–D preferred). You have seen at least one full fundraise cycle and have hands‑on experience with equity documentation.
• Equity & Cap Table Fluency: You can draft and negotiate term sheets, stockholder agreements, and voting agreements in your sleep. You understand dilution mechanics, liquidation preferences, anti‑dilution provisions, and pro‑rata rights—not just conceptually, but operationally. You’ve managed a cap table and know what "getting it wrong" costs.
• Corporate Transactions Ownership: You are comfortable owning the legal workstream on venture financings, strategic investments, and early‑stage M&A or acqui‑hire transactions. You don’t need a partner looking over your shoulder to get a deal to close.
• Governance Architect: You understand what good corporate hygiene looks like—board consents, 409A valuations, option pool management, state filings, and subsidiary structuring. You know that governance done poorly becomes a fundraising liability.
• Gap‑Filler Mentality: You thrive in the white space. When a deal or a situation doesn’t fit neatly into Commercial or Product’s lane—employment equity, a strategic partnership with a VC‑backed company, a cross‑border corporate restructuring—you pick it up and run.
• Automation First: You have a "developer mindset." If you’ve drafted the same consent or SAFE agreement three times, you build a template, a playbook, or a self‑service workflow. You likely use AI agents and LLMs daily to accelerate your own output.
• Pragmatic Risk Tolerance: Lovable moves fast. You are comfortable giving a clear, defensible recommendation with 70% of the information—and you know when to elevate vs. when to just decide.
• Bias for Action: You’d rather close the loop on a signature block over Slack than wait a week for a formal process.

What you'll do

• Own the Equity Stack: Manage all equity‑related legal work end‑to‑end—option grants, RSU plans, secondary transactions, employee liquidity programs, and 409A coordination. You are the single point of accountability when a new hire asks "how does my equity work?" and when a lead investor asks about our fully diluted cap table.
• Lead Corporate Transactions: Drive the legal workstream on venture financings (priced rounds, SAFEs, convertible notes), strategic investments, and any M&A activity. Coordinate with external counsel where needed but own the process, timeline, and output.
• Build & Maintain Corporate Infrastructure: Keep our corporate house in order across all entities—board and stockholder consents, annual filings, subsidiary governance, and cross‑border structural hygiene. Make sure we are always investor‑ready, not just at close.
• Be the Connective Tissue: Work alongside our Commercial and Product counsel to handle matters that fall between their mandates—co‑branded partnership structures, equity‑linked commercial arrangements, employee IP assignments, and any situation that requires a generalist’s judgment.
• Automate the Routine: Use Lovable and AI tooling to build self‑service infrastructure for standard corporate tasks—option grant workflows, consent templates, entity management trackers—so that the legal team scales without headcount growing linearly.
• Scale Prep: Build the governance documentation and compliance hygiene now that makes our next fundraise, a dual‑listing, or an acquisition clean and fast. Think: data room‑ready at all times.

The challenge

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to specialize narrowly or hand off anything that looks unfamiliar. You’ll be the person that founders, the CFO, and the board rely on when the stakes are high and the clock is ticking—whether that’s a term sheet that just landed, an employee equity dispute, or a structural question that doesn’t have a precedent inside the company. You will also help shape how Lovable’s legal function grows as we scale. Ready to be the legal backbone of the most exciting AI company in the world?

We treat all candidates equally.
