Privacy and Compliance Manager
Job Overview
TL;DR - We’re looking for a Privacy and Compliance Manager who thrives at the intersection of technology, regulation, and trust. One week you’ll be shaping our global privacy framework. Next, you’ll be working hand-in-hand with engineers to design compliant yet frictionless AI-powered features. You think about risks and safeguards, but your instinct is always: how do we protect users while enabling Lovable to move fast and build boldly? Deep privacy knowledge + practical compliance instincts + ability to ship with engineering = you.
Why Lovable?
Lovable lets anyone and everyone build software with plain English. 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. Over 2 million people in 200+ countries already use Lovable to launch businesses, automate work, and bring their ideas to life. 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.
What we're looking for
5+ years in data protection, privacy, or compliance roles (ideally in tech, SaaS, or AI).
Deep understanding of GDPR, EU AI Act, and global privacy frameworks.
You are experienced in building tools, scripting, or coding solutions to automate compliance checks and procedures, enabling privacy features to be deployed at scale.
You have a builder mindset and don’t just write policies, you design practical frameworks that scale with product and engineering.
You can balance compliance requirements with business realities. You know when to push back and when to propose pragmatic solutions.
Skilled communicator. Clear, confident, and persuasive. Able to explain complex regulations to engineers, execs, and customers alike.
Privacy is often about details. You notice what others miss and care about getting it right.
Comfortable working in a high-velocity startup where laws evolve and priorities shift quickly. Nothing is beneath you, from reviewing a DPIA to jumping on a customer compliance call.
Passionate user of Lovable.
What You’ll Do
In one sentence: Build and lead an engineering-first and world-class privacy and compliance function that lets Lovable scale responsibly and globally.
Own and evolve Lovable’s privacy and compliance strategy.
Ensure GDPR, EU AI Act, and other global requirements are embedded into product and operations - ideally, by you,or your close peers under your supervision.
Create and deploy automated solutions that enable privacy controls (such as data anonymization, access logging, or consent management) to be rolled out efficiently across large-scale environments.
Lead risk assessments, DPIAs, and audits - finding how to improve and scale Lovable as the most secure, compliant and safe company and product.
Manage security, privacy, and compliance certifications (ISO, SOC 2, etc.) together with our security and infra teams.
Educate and enable the team and make privacy and compliance something everyone understands and takes pride in. Security advocacy.
Be the voice of trust and support customer conversations and represent Lovable externally on compliance and privacy matters.
Our environment
We move fast and build with both humans and AI in mind. You’ll work closely with engineers and product managers using:
Tech: React, Golang, Rust, Cloudflare, GCP, AWS, multiple LLM providers.
Infra & Tooling: GitHub Actions, Grafana, Terraform, OTEL.
IT: MacOS, Kandji, Crowdstrike, Google Workspace
Process: Privacy by design, security by default, continuous iteration.
And always on the lookout for what's next.
