TL;DR: We're hiring a Human Resources Business Partner to partner with Engineering, Product & Design (EPD) at Lovable - our largest and fastest-growing organization. You'll act as a trusted advisor to the leadership team, and fly at many different altitudes every day. You’ll advise on org design, location strategy, talent planning, employee relations, manager effectiveness, and change management as we scale across Stockholm and London.
This role is based on-site in Stockholm or London.
Why Lovable?
Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with any language. From solopreneurs to Fortune 100 teams, millions of people use Lovable to transform raw ideas into real products - fast. We are at the forefront of a foundational shift in software creation, which means you have an unprecedented opportunity to change the way the digital world works. Lovable-built applications and websites are visited hundreds of millions of times a month, and our enterprise footprint is compounding fast. And we’re just getting started.
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.
The Role
You'll be deeply embedded with Engineering, Product, and Design as a strategic partner and operator: someone leaders trust for candid coaching, clear judgment, and pragmatic execution. You will spot patterns before they become problems, bring structure without slowing the team down, and turn People programs into AI enabled operating rhythms that work for a technical org.
What You'll Do
- Strategic People Partnership — build deep partnerships with EPD leaders and act as a trusted advisor on the people decisions that shape the business: team design, leadership effectiveness, talent density, retention, and change.
- AI-Native People Operations — rethink how work gets done in an AI-native company: experiment with AI-enabled workflows to increase velocity and craftsmanship (e.g., manager enablement, insight generation, communications, and operating rhythms), and help EPD leaders adopt them in a thoughtful, human-first way.
- Org Design & Headcount Planning — partner with Eng Leads, Finance, Recruiting, and People Ops to bring clarity and discipline to workforce planning, reporting lines, role definition, spans/layers, contractor strategy, and future org shape.
- Performance Reviews — Run EPD's quarterly Signal Review cycle end-to-end, including manager prep, calibration, monitor/at-risk categorization, level corrections, follow-through, and clean operating rhythms.
- Talent Insights & Retention — use qualitative signal and people data to identify hot spots, flight risks, manager gaps, and team-level patterns early; translate those insights into practical interventions.
- Employee Relations & Risk Management — own complex employee situations, performance improvement plans, investigations, resignations, probation issues, and terminations for EPD in partnership with Legal and People Ops.
- Manager & Leadership Coaching — coach technical leaders through hard conversations, promotion readiness, org changes, feedback, accountability, team health, and moments where clarity matters more than consensus.
- People Program Execution — help shape and roll out scalable People programs for EPD, including manager enablement, career pathing, leveling consistency, compensation cycles, engagement follow-up, and change management.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years as an HRBP, People Partner, or equivalent, with meaningful experience directly supporting Engineering, Product, Design, Research, or similarly technical organizations.
- Experience at an AI-native, developer tools, product-led, or high-growth technology company.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to connect people decisions to company priorities, product velocity, leadership effectiveness, and team performance.
- Excellent judgment in employee relations, including sensitive performance, conduct, probation, resignation, and termination situations.
- Comfortable giving hard feedback to senior technical leaders while maintaining strong relationships and discretion.
- Comfort with ambiguity, pace, and imperfect systems in a company where structure is still being built in real time.
