Event Marketing Lead
Linear 3.9
San Francisco, CA jobs
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 tool 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.
We think about events the same way we think about our product: as carefully designed experiences shaped by craft, intention, and respect for people's time. We aim to create moments that feel considered, welcoming, and worth showing up for.
We're looking for an Event Marketer to lead Linear's field and events program and create in-person experiences that reflect our brand and values. This role is for someone who prefers doing fewer things better-designing high-quality, high-touch events that feel human, polished, and quietly magical. From leadership roundtables and customer dinners to planning Linear's first conference, you'll shape how people experience Linear beyond the product.
You'll own events end to end: partnering with Sales and Marketing on strategy, collaborating with Product on programming and messaging, and setting a high bar for execution and follow-through. You'll also lead our internal events, including our annual global company offsite and larger gatherings, bringing the same level of care to how we come together as a team.
We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. Our preference is for this role to be based in San Francisco, where we plan to host an increasing number of events. We are also open to candidates located anywhere in the United States, provided they are willing to travel regularly.
What you'll do
Lead and build Linear's field and events marketing function, owning strategy, execution, and measurement across all in-person experiences.
Lead a high-impact, diversified event portfolio, including hosted events (leadership dinners, tech talks, Linear's first conference), major third-party conferences, and distinctive experiential campaigns for key prospects and customers.
Own end-to-end conference and event execution, including vendor selection and management, budgeting, staffing, timelines, on-site execution, and post-event follow-up.
Partner closely with Sales to identify priority accounts and regions, develop tailored event strategies, and ensure strong alignment between field programs and pipeline goals.
Track, analyze, and report on event performance metrics and ROI, translating insights into clear recommendations and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with teams across the company to shape compelling event content, programming, and messaging that resonates with our audience.
Lead and execute internal events, including Linear's annual global company offsite and larger internal gatherings such as Sales and Engineering offsites.
Ensure every experience reflects Linear's mission, values, and brand-creating thoughtful, high-quality moments that feel intentional, human, and worth the time.
What we're looking for
6+ years of experience in marketing and/or events, preferably in a B2B technology environment.
Proven experience leading event and field marketing programs, from strategy through execution and measurement.
Expert understanding of best-in-class event logistics, thought leadership programming, and demand generation through events.
Strong experience partnering closely with Sales teams to align events with account, regional, and pipeline goals.
Data-driven mindset with the ability to define success metrics, analyze performance, and clearly articulate ROI.
Excellent communicator with a proven ability to convey complex ideas and data clearly in written, presentation, and spoken formats to a wide range of audiences.
High bar for quality, detail, and execution, with strong judgment and ownership instincts.
What we offer
Interesting and challenging work.
Work-life balance.
Competitive salary and equity.
Employee-friendly equity terms (early exercise, extended exercise).
Stipend to set up your home office.
Paid lunch and coffee during workdays.
Work remotely, no commuting to the office.
Paid co-working space/desk at an office.
Health, dental, and vision insurance (US).

Role Overview
The BusinessDirector at Virginia Transformer Corp is responsible for translating the company's aggressive growth strategy into disciplined, scalable enterprise operations across a complex, multi-plant manufacturing environment.
As a privately held, rapidly growing industrial manufacturer with 5,500+ employees across the U.S., Mexico, and India, the BusinessDirector ensures that people operations, corporate infrastructure, compliance, systems, and shared services scale in lockstep with production, engineering, and commercial growth.
This role serves as the operational backbone of the enterprise, providing consistent administrative oversight and risk management, and partnering closely with the CEO, CFO, COO, and CHRO to bring structure, consistency, and execution rigor to a fast-moving organization.

Lead enterprise administrative operations supporting multiple manufacturing plants and global offices
Standardize internal processes, governance frameworks, and operating rhythms across plants and corporate functions

The BusinessDirector ensures that administrative infrastructure enables growth rather than becoming a constraint.

This role prioritizes operational and enterprise leadership backgrounds over legal-practice-centric career paths
Advanced degree preferred (MBA or equivalent executive education)
