Account Executive, Growth (EMEA) in London

This role may not be included. At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 50,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.

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.

As an Account Executive at Linear, you’ll contribute to the future of our product and help high-impact companies build better software. While Linear is a remote-first company across the US and Europe, this role is specifically based in London. We’re looking for someone who can work from our London office in Shoreditch 3 days per week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays), as this role will be closely connected to in-person collaboration with our growing sales presence in the region.

What you'll do:

• Become a product expert and help customers use Linear effectively; assist prospects through the trial and evaluation phase.
• Generate a strong pipeline and exceed quarterly and annual targets.
• Build relationships with key stakeholders within accounts.
• Stay up to date with our product offering, industry trends, competitive landscape, and market trends to continuously adapt sales strategies and approaches for maximum impact.
• Be the voice of the customer; advocate for customers by surfacing product or adoption blockers to our product team.

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years in a quota-carrying sales role.
• Experience selling to a technical audience; bonus if you have previous experience working with a collaboration or developer tool.
• SaaS and startup experience; comfortable working and adapting in a fast-paced and flexible environment.
• 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.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary and equity.
• Employee-friendly equity terms.
• Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday.
• Health coverage (based on country requirements).
• 5 weeks paid vacation, plus local statutory holidays.
• 4 months paid parental leave.
• Paid month off after 4 years & every 2 years thereafter.
