Job description

Motion is building the command center for creative strategists. An AI-native platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, so they can uncover what’s working, what’s not, and ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.

We're at the forefront of AI as the foundation of our product. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale and surfaces competitor trends. And with Runneth - the AI brain for the 100x marketer - we're going further: a persistent creative strategy agent that lives where your team already works (Slack, Notion, Google Drive, your ad data) and turns a marketer's knowledge and instincts into cross-channel playbooks, automated workflows, and a system that gets smarter over time. Our bet isn't that AI replaces great marketers. It's that the best marketers will use AI to operate at a scale that wasn't previously possible.

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. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.

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 75 person remote team backed by $65M+ in funding with a valuation that's nearly 3x'd in under two years. If you want to work on a hard problem, with people who've done it before, and a product that customers genuinely love - we'd love to connect!

About the Executive IC, Marketing role

There's a version of you that still drafts the post in your head before anyone else gets to it. You moved into leadership because your instincts could only scale so far through one set of hands, and building a team was how you extended your reach.

But the leverage equation has changed. Today, the best operators have access to tools that let them move faster, test more ideas, and execute at a level that would have required significantly more resources just a few years ago.

We're looking for people who've already succeeded at the Executive level and are itching to get their hands dirty again.

• Shaping how Motion shows up in the market, from positioning and storytelling to launches and campaigns.
• Experimenting relentlessly. Spotting opportunities, testing them quickly, doubling down on what works, and learning from what doesn't.
• Building systems and workflows that multiply your effectiveness and help define what modern marketing looks like at an AI-native company.
• A Founder, C-suite, VP, or Director-level track record in marketing and a desire to get closer to the work again.
• Strong instincts for positioning, storytelling, product marketing, and identifying what resonates with customers.
• A founder-like bias toward action, including a habit of spotting opportunities, testing ideas quickly, and building systems that scale.
• The mindset of someone who could start their own company but would rather join one that's already moving fast.

What you'll love about Motion

• Competitive compensation package: 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.
• Remote-first with hybrid flexibility: 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.
• Growth that speaks for itself: 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.
• Opportunity for impact: As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company. If you're excited about building, you’ll thrive here!
• Award-winning team: We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
• Virtual: 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.
• In-person: 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.

A note on location: we're looking to hire someone based in Canada or the United States, but are open to exceptional candidates in other locations. If this position excites you and you believe you'd be a strong fit, we encourage you to apply!

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.
