Full Job Description
TL;DR

We're hiring the first sales leader to anchor Lovable's enterprise presence in San Francisco. You'll own the West Coast motion from the ground up - building a team to drive pipeline with the most important technology companies in the world, closing complex deals, and making Lovable the platform that AI-forward enterprises choose first. The SF seat is the most competitive enterprise sales market on earth. We want someone who sees that as an advantage.

What We're Looking For
  • 10+ years in enterprise B2B sales, with 4+ years leadership experience in high-growth SaaS, developer platforms, or AI-adjacent technology
  • Track record closing six- and seven-figure deals with technical and business buyers at companies like hyperscalers, AI-native enterprises, and fast-scaling tech firms
  • Leading teams to consistent quota attainment (>100%) in competitive, complex sales environments
  • Deep familiarity with the SF/Bay Area enterprise ecosystem - you know the community, not just the companies
  • Genuinely AI-native: you use AI tools to run your workflow, not as a talking point
  • Comfort operating with autonomy in ambiguous, high-velocity environments where the playbook is yours to write
  • Preferred: Experience selling to AI/ML, infrastructure, or platform buyers - the kind of companies who will build the next wave of software on top of Lovable


What You'll Do
  • Own Lovable's San Francisco enterprise business: pipeline creation, deal execution, and account expansion
  • Build a team to close and grow strategic accounts across enterprise technology, AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, and next-generation SaaS - Lovable's highest-concentration market
  • Build the SF hub from the ground up: events, executive relationships, co-selling with hyperscaler partners (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure), and community presence
  • Hire and develop the first AEs in market as the team grows; be the model for delivering a Lovable experience to our customers
  • Collaborate with the Head of Global Sales, marketing, and product leadership to ensure the SF market's feedback shapes Lovable's enterprise roadmap
  • Represent Lovable at the highest levels of the AI and enterprise tech community in the Bay Area and across the US


Projects you'll tackle first:
  • Build the SF-based founding sales team
  • Build the SF enterprise target account list - prioritized by TAM, strategic value, and speed to close
  • Establish Lovable's presence at 2-3 marquee SF enterprise events in your first quarter
  • Activate and expand partner co-sell relationships with Google Cloud and hyperscaler GTM teams
