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
Requirements
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 escalate 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.
Additional Information
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.
