Job Description

TL;DR — We're looking for a strategic, hands-on external communications lead to drive Lovable's US media relations, executive visibility, and events presence. You'll shape how Lovable shows up in our largest market — from earned media to spokesperson moments to high-impact events — while helping establish our voice as a global leader in democratizing software creation. This is a high-growth, high-impact role based in San Francisco.

Job Responsibility

  • Own US media relations: Develop and execute Lovable's US media strategy — journalist relationships, proactive pitching, and reactive opportunities
  • Drive executive visibility and events: Identify and execute strategic speaking opportunities that build Lovable's credibility with US audiences, managing everything from event selection to on-site presence
  • Develop and support executive spokespeople: Prepare executives for US media opportunities and speaking engagements, including message development, media training, and briefings
  • Support employer brand: Contribute to external communications that reinforce Lovable as a destination for world-class talent, supporting broader employer brand initiatives
  • Shape our communications foundations: As an early member of the comms team, help establish the frameworks, processes, and ways of working that will scale with Lovable's growth

Requirements

  • External comms experience in hypergrowth tech: 5+ years building and executing external communications at fast-growing technology companies (B2B or B2C SaaS preferred), ideally with experience building new programs while staying hands-on
  • US media relations expertise: Strong relationships with US tech, business, and trade media, with a track record of securing coverage that moves the needle
  • experience with issues management a plus
  • Events and executive visibility chops: Experience managing the full lifecycle of executive speaking opportunities — identifying and pitching events, developing abstracts, preparing spokespeople, and executing on-site
  • Executive partnership and preparation: Track record of advising and coaching spokespeople for media interviews, speaking engagements, and high-profile public moments
  • Employer brand instincts: Understanding of how external communications drives talent attraction
  • bonus points for experience developing narratives that resonate with technical audiences
  • Extreme ownership with keen attention to detail: You take full accountability, sweat the small stuff, and catch what others miss
  • Comfort with ambiguity and speed: You're energized (not drained) by fast-moving environments where priorities shift and you're building the plane while flying it
