What you'll love about Motion 💜
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 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. 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 70+ person team, having raised over $65M in total capital at a most recent valuation of $400M, with consecutive record revenue quarters and real momentum. 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!
▶️ Brief overview of the Motion product from our Co-Founder & CEO, Reza Khadjavi.
Somewhere on the way up, you stopped building the product and started running the people who built it. It was the right call at the time: leading PMs was how you turned one person's judgment into a whole team's output. But the thing that made that trade worth it has flipped. A product person who builds and ships directly can now move faster, and have a larger impact, than the org they used to run.
We want someone who has operated at that altitude and would rather be back at the keyboard, taking an area of the product from first idea to live in customers' hands, and setting the pace by doing it.
Jean-Michel Lemieux, the former CTO of Shopify, just joined a Series B startup as an Executive IC. His title inspired ours, and transitions like his are our reference point. If that's the kind of move you've been waiting to make, this is your seat.
What you'd be doing 🛠️
- Owning a meaningful surface of Motion's product end-to-end, from strategy through launch, iteration, and scale.
- Moving from idea to shipped product by staying closer to the customer and the build than anyone else.
- Setting the product cadence through your own output and raising the bar by showing what's possible.
Our ideal fit brings ✨
- A strong product track record, including leading teams at scale and building products that people genuinely use and love.
- A way of working that's already built around AI.
- Sharp product instincts and a clear point of view on how AI is changing the way things are built.
- The mindset of someone who could start a company but would rather join one that's already moving fast.
- 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.
- Team connection:
- 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!
