About the Company
- Motion is building the command center for creative strategists: an AI-native platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams.
- We’re at the forefront of AI as the foundation of Motion.
- Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale, surfaces competitor trends, and is rolling out a persistent creative strategy agent that retains context, runs workflows, and integrates with the tools teams already use.
- Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world’s top e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands and agencies (including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer’s Dog, and HexClad) and has analyzed over $14B in media spend.
- Our founders have built successful companies before, including alongside several of the people now at Motion.
- A number of teammates chose to build again here — a reflection of the trust, culture, and conviction behind what we’re building.
- The people building Motion are deeply embedded in where AI and our industry is heading, and obsessed with closing the gap between what's possible and what's actually shipping in product.
- We're a 70+ person team, having raised over $65M in total capital, with consecutive record revenue quarters and real momentum.
- Our Sales Development team is new and will sit at the front of the pipe.
- We're builders. We multi thread, we ship outreach worth replying to, and we bring real opinions on what works, not just execution.
- We move fast, test hard, and kill what doesn't earn its keep.
- We are grinders and we embrace it.
- Every meeting we book is pipeline that wouldn't exist otherwise, and we build it consultatively, never transactionally.
- You'll be working directly with Evan Lee and Rainier, Motion's top-performing Mid Market AE in 2025 (2x quota), now tasked with building Motion's outbound function from zero.
- Motion's GTM has historically been pure inbound (and we rock at it). Now we're building the outbound engine the best orgs run.
- The function doesn't formally exist yet. The raw materials are here, the tech stack is here, the playbooks are taking shape. The recipe is what we're figuring out together.
- Our customers are already feeling the pain, and this problem is a top priority for them.
- Motion's product-market fit in this space is unmatched.
- When you book a meeting with the right person, you're not selling against indifference. You're showing up with the answer to a problem they're actively trying to solve.
- We offer competitive compensation, including equity for all employees, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being, 20 days of PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend.
- We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
- Motion has strong product-market fit, 2.5x YoY growth, second-time founders with deep industry knowledge, and $30M in Series B funding to fuel our momentum.
- As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company.
- We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
- Day-to-day, we use Roam, an AI-powered virtual office platform that fosters spontaneous collaboration, drop into meetings or quick chats, and interact with colleagues for a simulated, "live" digital headquarters.
- Outside of the option to go to one of our offices, our team gets together in-person for a week every two months, and we have a company retreat every summer.
- We closed out 2024 with a $30M Series B raise and strong signals from our customers.
- In 2025, we built the foundational capabilities our customers rely on, setting the stage for what's to come.
- In 2026, with fresh funding ($65M+ total capital raised), we’re building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way.
Equal Opportunity
- Motion uses artificial intelligence (AI) to support administrative and efficiency-focused aspects of our recruitment process. All interviews and hiring decisions are made by (human) members of the Motion team.
