Commercial Counsel

TL;DR : Lovable is growing fast and needs a Commercial Counsel (EMEA) who thinks like a Revenue Architect — leveraging AI solutions to move deals at ~10× the standard speed. Why Lovable? Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started. We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world. Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software. What we’re looking for Relevant SaaS enterprise experience: 8+ years legal experience, including 3+ years in SaaS (series B–D preferred). Must have experience with 6-figure enterprise deals and common sticking points + solutions. High-velocity sales partner: Trusted partner who navigates legal friction, finds workable solutions in real time, and builds scalable approaches to reduce cycles. Automation-minded: Builder mentality; uses AI daily to 10× drafting/review speed; contributes to shared playbooks and repositories. Master of the deal: Comfortable drafting/negotiating MSAs, Enterprise T&Cs, DPAs from scratch. Familiar with DORA, EU AI Act, GDPR, and common frameworks raised in negotiations. Solutions over playbooks: Handles bespoke, complex deals; partners with Sales, Security, Finance, and Product to align quickly in ambiguous situations. Commercial judgment: Explains issues from a business perspective; frames risk and tradeoffs like a business partner. Pragmatic risk tolerance: Comfortable making high-stakes decisions with imperfect facts; balances long-term protection with urgency to win market share. Bias for action and brevity: Prefers quick calls or concise written guidance vs. lengthy memos. Understands AI + AI companies: Can navigate AI governance/risk/model-training concerns and explain LLM provider vs. AI system deployer. What you’ll do Own enterprise deals: Lead drafting and negotiation of MSAs, enterprise T&Cs, DPAs, and other tech agreements end-to-end across largest/most complex deals. Solve sticking points: Step in on complex AI-related concerns; propose practical solutions and drive stakeholder alignment. Raise the floor: Use Lovable and other AI tools to extend leverage, reduce cycles/cycle times, and increase deal velocity. Regulatory translation: Stay ahead of EU AI Act, GDPR, Data Act; turn compliance into competitive advantage via commercial terms. Audit-ready hygiene: Keep deals clean, documented, and consistent to support audits and expansion. The challenge This role is about being the trusted operator on every hard deal: turning complex AI regulations into clean, defensible contract positions — and using automation to move faster than the deal team expects.
