About the role

  • 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 30,000 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

Responsibilities

  • Run the handoff from Sales at deal close in partnership with Customer Success and Solutions Engineering: validate services scope, timeline commitments, complexity signals, and migration readiness
  • Own go-live execution and the first 30 days post-launch: adoption tracking, rapid issue triage, and a structured handoff to the CSM
  • Build the implementation playbook: turn each rollout into a documented, repeatable framework that scales with the business

Requirements

  • 5+ years in implementation management, technical program management, or enterprise onboarding at a B2B SaaS company
  • Ability to coordinate technical and non-technical teams without owning the technical execution directly
  • Experience defining and enforcing services scope: scoping engagements, setting expectations on hours and deliverables, and managing scope creep

Nice to have

  • familiarity with enterprise migration patterns, SSO/SCIM provisioning, integration configuration at scale, or experience working alongside Solutions Engineering or Professional Services
  • We're a small, focused team that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we do it with.
  • AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we're shaping the tools this new era requires.
  • 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.
  • As Linear moves upmarket, the gap between deal close and successful enterprise rollout has become our most important surface area.
  • This role is open to candidates based in North America.
  • EST time zone is preferred for this position.
