About Lovable

Lovable is building the world's most loved AI software development platform, empowering builders to ship real products faster than ever before. We've grown to 150K+ community members in our first year, with passionate builders across 80+ countries creating everything from side projects to production applications. Our community is our competitive advantage—they validate us, amplify us, and help us build the best product in the market.

The Role

As Head of Community Marketing, you'll own the strategy and execution of all community-led growth initiatives at Lovable. This role sits at the intersection of product, marketing, and community—driving measurable impact through authentic relationships with our builder community. You'll manage a team of community managers and be responsible for hosting events, driving engagement, moderating forums, and scaling community programs from 0 to 1.

This is a player-coach role. You'll be hands-on building and running programs while also setting strategy and managing a growing team. You'll report directly to the Head of Product Marketing and work cross-functionally with Growth, Product, Sales, and Brand teams.
