TL;DR - We're looking for a Corporate Development lead to build and scale Lovable's M&A and strategic investment function, working closely with top startups in Europe.

• A strong personal network across the European (and ideally global) startup, VC, and technology ecosystem, with credibility to open doors at the founder and C-suite level.
• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills - able to align legal, finance, product, and executive stakeholders around complex deals.
