TL;DR: Own Lovable’s UK People Operations, from payroll and commissions to benefits and day-to-day employee support. You’ll be a hands-on operator and a trusted point of contact for our London team, partnering with a coordinated global People Ops function to deliver reliable, people-first experiences.

This is an in-office role, five days a week.

Why Lovable?

Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started.

We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fast, and are eager to make a dent in the world.

Lovable is one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies and has been recognized on the Forbes AI 50 and CNBC Disruptor 50, reflecting our momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies and one of the most ambitious places to build in this next era of software.

What we’re looking for

  • 5–6+ years in UK People Operations or HR, with hands-on ownership of UK payroll, commissions and employee benefits.

  • Strong operational judgment and attention to detail: you can keep complex processes accurate and on time, handle sensitive information with care, and know when to bring in specialists.

  • An analytical mindset and a track record of using data to spot issues and improve how work gets done.

  • Clear, empathetic communication and the confidence to influence without authority, challenge constructively and work through trade-offs with senior stakeholders.

  • A team-first, hands-on approach and the ability to take ownership in a fast-moving, changing environment. You’re excited to be in our London office five days a week.

  • Experience with or strong interest in building automations, workflows and AI agents in People Operations.

  • Preferred: Experience in a startup or high-growth environment, including scaling beyond 500 employees; exposure to European labor law or multi-country operations; or experience implementing HR systems and automation.

What you’ll do

  • Own UK payroll and commissions: Coordinate inputs, checks and handoffs to ensure accurate, timely delivery, resolve exceptions and improve processes as the business grows.

  • Run UK benefits: Own implementation, administration and employee communications in partnership with our Head of Total Rewards.

  • Support immigration and compliance: Coordinate UK immigration processes with our mobility and immigration team, and help keep local People policies and operations running smoothly.

  • Support our people: Be a primary point of contact for the UK team, providing responsive, thoughtful support and making moments like onboarding, payroll and benefits feel effortless.

  • Improve how work gets done: Use data to identify trends and operational issues, and design automations, workflows and AI agents that reduce manual work while protecting employee data and trust.

  • Partner across the business: Work with Finance and global People Ops on reporting, audits, systems and process improvements. Help senior stakeholders navigate people-related decisions, objections and trade-offs.

How you’ll fit in

  • With global People Ops: You’ll own UK delivery while collaborating closely with a coordinated global team and contributing to international initiatives, especially around systems and tooling.

  • With specialist partners: You’ll work with Total Rewards on benefits and with mobility and immigration specialists on UK cases, bringing the right people in when their expertise is needed.

  • As a builder: You’ll keep the day-to-day running reliably while finding practical ways to make existing processes simpler and more scalable. Automation should free up time for the moments when people need a human.
