Job Description

The Role

Lovable is looking for an Enterprise Hackathons Lead — a creative, operational, and relationship-driven builder who can design and run high-impact hackathons that turn prospects into customers, and customers into power users.

You’ll own the end-to-end motion of Enterprise Hackathons and AI Activation Programs — from pre-sales events with perspective customers to onboarding and enablement experiences for our largest Enterprise customers.

Your mission:

Turn hackathons into our most powerful growth and adoption engine.

Every event you run should move pipeline, drive product usage, and deepen our enterprise partnerships.

What You’ll Do

  • Design & Execute Enterprise Hackathons

Plan and deliver world-class hackathons for enterprise prospects and customers — from agenda design and challenge framing to on-site execution and post-event storytelling.

  • Build Repeatable Playbooks

Create scalable frameworks and templates for different hackathon types (pre-sales, onboarding, internal innovation, partner events).

  • Partner with Marketing & Field Teams

Collaborate on event strategy, branding, and community activations to turn hackathons into flagship moments for Lovable.

  • Accelerate Deals & Adoption

Work with Sales and CS to tie each hackathon to measurable outcomes — product usage, time-to-value, deal expansion, or pilot conversion.

  • Enable the Organization

Train internal teams (CSMs, AEs, Engineers) on running their own lightweight activations using your playbooks.

  • Capture and Amplify Wins

Turn each hackathon into content — stories, case studies, and learnings that fuel Lovable’s narrative on how the world builds with AI.

Who You Are

  • You’re a builder at heart — creative, scrappy, and comfortable in front of customers.
  • You’ve run or produced hackathons, innovation labs, or technical workshops (at an enterprise, accelerator, or tech company).
  • You have experience in Customer Success, GTM Programs, Developer Relations, or Field Marketing.
  • You’re fluent in both business outcomes and technical storytelling — you can connect design systems and AI workflows to enterprise value.
  • You thrive in cross-functional environments — you know how to align Product, Marketing, and Sales to make magic happen.
  • You’re energized by fast-paced, high-visibility projects that blend creativity and execution.

Success Looks Like:

  • Lovable hackathons become the #1 driver of enterprise adoption and expansion.
  • Every hackathon has a clear business outcome (pipeline acceleration, product usage uplift, expansion).
  • Internal teams adopt your playbooks and frameworks, making hackathons repeatable and scalable.
  • Lovable becomes known for running the best AI hackathons in the industry — the events everyone wants to attend.
