Account Executive, EU (Enterprise)

At Linear, we are on a mission to bring magic back to software. To empower product teams to do their best work, we are building an issue tracking and project management tool that combines UI elegance with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for 20,000+ companies to plan and build their products.

Linear was set up as a fully remote company from the start. Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work.

Over the past few years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth and has become the default tool of choice for many of the world’s best product teams. We are now layering a product-led sales motion on top of our existing self-serve business to further accelerate our ambitions and bring the magic of Linear to even more and larger companies. You’ll play an instrumental role in defining our enterprise sales motion, contribute to the future of our product, and help high-impact companies build better software.

Please note: While Linear is a remote-first company across the US and Europe, this role is based in London. We’re looking for someone who can work from our London office 2–3 days per week, as this role will be closely connected to in-person collaboration with our growing sales presence in the region.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years in a quota-carrying sales role

• Experience selling a technical product to both engineering and product leadership; bonus if you have experience selling collaboration or project management software

• SaaS and startup experience; comfortable working and adapting in a fast-paced and flexible environment

• Ability to understand complex client needs, craft tailored discovery, and drive sales through consultative approaches.

• Strong written and verbal communication, presentation, and product demonstration skills

• Highly autonomous with a bias for action. Owner’s mindset to quickly come up to speed on product, market, ICP, and unique differentiators
