About the role

Support the offer process: send offers, manage approval coordination, and shepherd candidates through logistics to their start date
Continuously look for ways to automate and streamline: use AI and modern tooling to move faster without sacrificing candidate experience
Design and own the onboarding experience at Linear: build an onboarding journey that's thoughtful, well-coordinated across teams, scaleable, and leaves every new hire feeling set up for success from offer acceptance through their first few months
Maintain people systems and data accuracy across our HRIS and ATS
Coordinate employee lifecycle events including onboarding, transfers, and location changes
Identify opportunities to make People Operations more efficient: automate the repeatable, improve the manual, and build systems that scale with the team
