About the job
At Linear, we are dedicated to revitalizing the software experience. Our mission is to empower product teams by developing an exceptional issue tracking and project management tool that elegantly blends user interface aesthetics with unparalleled performance. Since our inception in 2019, Linear has become the preferred choice for over 20,000 companies to strategize and create their products.
As a fully remote company from the outset, our dynamic team spans North America and Europe. Our shared values revolve around a steadfast focus, rapid execution, and an unwavering passion for software craftsmanship. We embody a maker's spirit, prioritizing the quality of our work.
Our ambition is to make Linear the go-to solution for product managers, engineers, startups, and enterprises. We aim to generate momentum around our brand and product, establishing Linear as the only logical choice for exceptional software development. This position is pivotal in nurturing that momentum.
We seek a dedicated individual to lead growth initiatives at Linear, encompassing our startup, creator, and affiliate programs, alongside lifecycle and performance marketing efforts. While our startup and creator programs have shown promise, they require a robust infrastructure and focused attention to scale effectively. You will analyze successful strategies, develop supportive systems, and drive our growth in a manner that aligns with our brand values.
We prioritize sustainable growth over quick fixes, emphasizing long-term branding strategies over growth hacking.
Our compact marketing team wields significant influence, and we intend to maintain this dynamic. You will have the opportunity to shape Linear's growth trajectory, with the freedom to adopt tools and practices that enhance your effectiveness.
Note: We are an equal opportunity employer and operate as a remote-only company. Currently, we can only support hiring within the U.S. and most European time zones for this role.
