Head of Community (Stockholm - relocation provided)

As Head of Community

As Head of Community, you will turn Lovable’s global builder ecosystem into a measurable driver of activation, retention, and brand strength. You’ll define and execute a global community strategy aligned with company-level growth targets, build and scale structured programs (Ambassadors, Campus Leaders, flagship events), and create tight feedback loops between community and product. If you have experience in PLG or community-led growth, love working with technical builders, and want to lead a high-impact team at a category-defining company, this role is for you.

We’re a small, talent-dense team building a generation-defining company from Stockholm. We value extreme ownership, high velocity and low-ego collaboration. We seek out people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Role

As Head of Community, you will define and lead Lovable’s global community strategy as a core growth and retention lever for the business. This role sits at the intersection of product, marketing, growth, owning community as a measurable driver of activation, retention, expansion, and brand equity. This is a player‑coach role. You’ll architect the strategy, build programs from 0→1, and establish the operating model for how community directly contributes to revenue and long-term customer value. You’ll manage and grow a team while personally driving high‑impact initiatives in the early stages. You’ll report directly to the Head of Marketing and work cross‑functionally with Growth, Product, Sales, and Brand to ensure community initiatives are tightly aligned with company‑level growth targets and measurable business outcomes.
